Oral question asked in the House of Commons, by Philip Hollobone (Conservative). It was answered by Mark Francois (Conservative) on Monday, 23 February 2015 on behalf of the Ministry of Defence.
Russian-made Military Aircraft: Argentina
- Question
-
What recent assessment he has made of the potential implications of deployment of Russian-made military aircraft to Argentina for the UK's defence footprint in the South Atlantic.
- Answer
-
The Ministry of Defence undertakes regular assessments of current and potential military threats to the Falkland Islands to ensure that we retain the appropriate defensive capability. There is currently no suggestion that there will be any need to vary significantly our capability in the south Atlantic, but contingency plans are in place to do so if required.
