The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, how many Jackal 3(E) have been delivered.

Answered by Luke Pollard

There are 639 Jackal vehicles in service in the British Army and 61 Jackal vehicles in service in the Royal Marines.

I can confirm that all 53 Jackal 3(E) we have procured will be delivered by the end of July 2026.

I am unable to disclose the number of Jackal vehicles in service with the Royal Air Force Regiment as due to operational security, we do not disclose equipment holdings at unit level.
