Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, if he will make an assessment of the potential impact of acquiring ultra low-cost air vehicles for the Royal Air Force on levels of (a) capability and (b) force mass.
We are considering the opportunities presented by such systems across all of our domains, which includes understanding the balance of cost and capability levels to inform our future mix of capabilities. We will be publishing an Uncrewed Systems Strategy in the coming months.
