Israel and Ukraine: Military Aid
- Question
-
To ask His Majesty's Government what proportion of the missiles manufactured by the Thales Air Defence bases in Belfast and Crossgar are transported annually to (1) Ukraine, and (2) Israel, for defensive purposes.
- Answer
-
For national security reasons we do not disclose details of numbers of such munitions that are produced for the UK Armed Forces. I can confirm however that Lightweight Multirole Missiles (LMMs) are being procured by the Ministry of Defence (MOD) for its own stockpiles and in September 2024 the Government announced that MOD was procuring 650 of these missiles for Ukraine for air defence. LMM has not been exported to Israel.
