Warrior Vehicles: Decommissioning

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what assessment has he made of the a) feasibility and b) potential merits of extending the out-of-service date of Warrior beyond 2027.

Answer

There are no plans to extend the out-of-service date for Warrior beyond 2027, and as such an extension is not under consideration. The focus remains on achieving the Strategic Defence Review's vision for a tenfold increase in British Army lethality over the next decade, with survivable and lethal platforms, such as armoured fighting vehicles, playing a central role alongside new layered systems of attritable and consumable platforms.
