Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, how many (a) main battle tanks, (b) infantry fighting vehicles and (c) artillery are available for immediate deployment as of 1 March 2022.

The Army is always ready to fulfil the task of protecting the nation and holds various people, units and equipment at various levels of readiness.

Details of the number of vehicles in the UK Armed Forces are published on an annual basis on the Government’s website. The most recent publication can be found here: https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/uk-armed-forces-equipment-and-formations-2021
