Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, whether the Ukrainian Government requested more than the three M270 multiple rocket launch systems his Department will provide to that country.

Our gifting of Multiple-Launch Rocket Systems (MLRS) follows detailed discussions with the Armed Forces of Ukraine on what they need to meet their operational requirements. The highly capable MLRS will provide Ukraine with a significant boost in capability. The UK's decision has been co-ordinated closely with the US decision to gift the High Mobility Artillery Rocket System (HIMARS) variant of MLRS.
