Armed Forces and Defence Equipment
- Question
-
To ask Her Majesty's Government what plans they have, if any, to develop a new model for (1) organising, and (2) equipping, the UK’s armed forces, in light of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
- Answer
-
The 2021 Integrated Review (IR) and Defence Command Paper outlines the Government's plan for Defence. It recognised the unprecedented challenges posed by geopolitical shifts, including intensifying competition between states, a widening range of security threats, and rapid technological change. It outlines how our Armed Forces will be organised and equipped to be more agile and adaptable to emerging threats.
We are continuing to monitor the situation globally, including in Ukraine, to ensure we remain threat-led and, in line with the agile planning and delivery mechanisms developed following the IR, we will continue to review our capabilities and readiness levels accordingly.
