Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what assessment his Department has made of the combat suitability of The Jackal 2 platform when pitted against (a) peer and (b) near peer opponents.
The Army’s capabilities are regularly assessed against both peer, near peer and other adversaries in planned force testing including operational analysis and Wargaming – supported by DSTL. I am withholding the specific detail of the testing as its disclosure would, or would be likely to prejudice the capability, effectiveness or security of the Armed Forces.
