Given the reluctance, it is reasonable to assume the answer is one of the following MoD responses:
None. We're thinking about building the drone-craft carrier for them. It should be ready by 2050
One. Yeeeeees, of course we have drones! We have lots of drones. So many that it's a secret. Look! here's a photo.
We don't know. Well, we bought a load of them. Some have been delivered. Some will arrive next month. We've crashed a few, Some don't work. We haven't got the right batteries for some (they do use batteries, don't they? The Minister of Defence's son has one, that's got batteries). And some are in Afghanistan - or is it Syria or Iraq? I get terribly confused with all these foreign names.
