Iran: Unmanned Air Systems

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what discussions has he had with his a) US counterparts or b) senior US military personnel, regarding the effectiveness of the US military’s one-way effectors used in the attack on Iran.

Answered by Al Carns

The US is the UK’s closest defence and security partner. The Secretary of State and his officials are in regular contact with US counterparts on a range of topics to ensure coherence and alignment between our two nations.

You would not expect me to go into detail of operational discussions with the United States, including specific assessments of US capabilities or systems.
