Armoured Fighting Vehicles

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what assessment has he made of the potential merits of procuring the BAE CV90 as a replacement infantry fighting vehicle for Warrior.

Answer

I refer the hon. Member to the answer I gave to Question 98364 on 17 December 2025, which remains extant:

The Ministry of Defence continually assesses its current and planned capabilities to ensure that it is appropriately equipped to face any adversary.

The CV90 was one of the vehicles considered during the competition for the Scout Specialist Vehicle. An evaluation has not occurred since the Ajax contract was awarded.
