Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what the timeframe is for the completion of the integration of the F-35 fleet's MBDA Meteor beyond visual range air-to-air missile and SPEAR precision surface attack missile.
The integration of Meteor and the SPEAR Capability 3 precision surface attack missile onto F-35 Lightning is in its early stages and therefore a definitive timeframe for its completion has yet to be fully established. We do, however, anticipate a completion timescale of 2024/25.
