Unmanned Air Systems: Procurement

Asked by James CartlidgeConservativeMinistry of DefenceTabled Answered 29 June 2026UIN 10673

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, how many military drones in (a) logistics, (b) strike and (c) ISR roles were purchased by his Department for the British armed forces since 5 July 2024.

Answered by Luke Pollard

Since coming to office, we have invested in new drone capabilities both for Ukraine and for the UK. The information requested is not held centrally and will take time to collate. I will write to the hon. Member once this work is complete and place a copy of the letter in the Library of the House.
