Tanks: Logistics
(asked on 7th February 2017) - View Source
Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what estimate he has made of current availability of tank transporters for the armed forces.
This question was answered on 20th February 2017
Heavy Equipment Tank Transporter (HET) capability is provided through a Private Finance Initiative project with Fasttrax (a joint venture company). The initiative provides the Ministry of Defence with 89 HET trains (tractor units and trailers) on pre-defined levels of availability.
We do not routinely comment on the specific availability of equipment as disclosure would, or would be likely to prejudice the capability, effectiveness or security of the Armed Forces.
