Mark Hendrick – 2014 Parliamentary Question to the Ministry of Defence

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Mark Hendrick on 2014-04-09.

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, whether the UK is deploying any military assets to assist the NATO patrol over Ukraine.

Mr Mark Francois

NATO is not patrolling Ukranian airspace. Therefore, nor is the UK. However, the UK is contributing an E3-D aircraft to the NATO Airborne Early Warning and Control Force flying in NATO airspace and it will be deploying four Typhoon aircraft to enhance the Polish rotation of NATO’s peacetime Baltic Air Policing mission, which polices NATO airspace.
