Iran: Armed Conflict

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what capabilities Middle East partner nations have procured through Task Force Sabre.

Answer

Task Force Sabre and the UK Government have facilitated and supported Middle East partner nations to procure short-range air defence launchers, advanced ground-based missile shields, and counter-drone systems. The Ministry of Defence continues to work with allies and industry to ensure that capabilities are delivered where required. Due to operational sensitivity, it is inappropriate to comment further.
