Australia getting new long range missiles
-50% rule-

“Australia will invest in longer range strike weapons, cyber capabilities and area denial,” he will say, according to prepared remarks distributed to media in advance.


“We are expanding our plans to acquire long-range maritime and land strike capabilities, and to invest in more highly integrated sensors and weapons.”

I hear tell of even longer range missiles being considered.

That means... they are thinking along the lines of a nuclear deterrent.

Re: Australia getting new long range missiles
when china sailed 3 warships into Sydney harbour like they owned the place, whilst the Russians stayed off shore when putin visited in the G20.

Australia had an industry that made our own, but it got moved to china letting them make it.

Australia made a huge mistake when it got rid of the F1-11

Australia should manufactory that plane and build it here. it was a deterrent.

better than missils we need to have an industrial base that can fill the gaps.

That's what I meant, neighbouring farmer, cattle station etc. Anyways what ships is there to sink? Indos? Their fishing boats will sink before hitting NT shores. No one is coming to Oz, they either can't be fucked or too incompetent to make it all the way.

Gaining more and better weapons, presumably the best we can share, makes you less of a target.

They can't have nuclear deterrent, that would cause proliferation. Same reason Japan or South Korea or Germany or Taiwan, Switzerland or any other random country can't develop nukes. Same reason Iran and North Korea are under somuch pressure.

Re: Australia getting new long range missiles
Australia cannot win a war against China, but teaming up with more powerful countries might give Australia the edge.

China would not launch a maritime invasion of Australia without first neutralizing the american pacific fleet.

Would be a purely defensive war since Australia has limited force projection capability.

Australia could, all we need to do, is declare war and then the Commonwealth and the US are bound by treaties to ally with us.
