Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask His Majesty's Government whether the current level of unmanned aerial systems is lower than that as of 1 January 2024; and if so, what is the timescale for the replenishment of munitions stockpiles to that level.

The Ministry of Defence has had delivery of over 7,900 uncrewed systems since July 2024. Due to operational security considerations, it is important to guard against the threat of adversary data aggregation regarding the specific detailed breakdown of UK military capability and stockpiles, including uncrewed systems platform numbers and types. Therefore, it would be inappropriate to comment further.
