Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what assessment has he made of the potential merits of procuring the K9-Thunder 155mm self-propelled howitzer.

Many 155 mm Artillery systems, including K9-Thunder, were considered as candidates for the Army’s enduring artillery capability, prior to selection of the Remote Controlled Howitzer 155 mm for the Mobile Fires Platform.

The Army continues to evaluate its need against current conditions.
