Antitank Missiles: Procurement
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, pursuant to the answer of 8 June 2026 to question 5082 on Antitank Missiles: Procurement, how many Lightweight Command Launch Units have been ordered; and whether they will replace all of the current Command Launch Units held.
Answered by Luke Pollard
The UK’s existing Javelin Command Launch units will be gradually phased out, to be replaced by the new Lightweight Command Launch Unit. Javelin capability will be maintained by a mixed fleet during this transition. As I am certain the hon. Member will understand I am withholding further detail on fleet composition due to operational and national security sensitivities.
