Australia modernizes air defense

Australia has begun to upgrade its short-range and medium-range air defense systems. Australian Defense Ministry announced the purchase of new missile systems NASAMS, reports "Warspot" with reference to the portal australianaviation.com.au

NASAMS Air Defense Launcher

A Norwegian development called NASAMS (Norwegian Advanced Surface to Air Missile System) was created by Kongsberg Defense & Aerospace in partnership with Raytheon. The air defense system consists of installations with six missile containers each (mounted on various equipment or supplied in the form of towed trailers), as well as radars and control points. Launch containers are multipurpose and can be used for various missiles (some of the supported missiles are already in service with the Australian army (AIM-9X and AMRAAM). NASAMS is capable of striking various air targets, including highly maneuverable ones (fighters, cruise missiles, etc.) The missiles used by the new system can shoot down targets at an altitude of 30 m to 16 km (according to other sources - up to 14 km) and at a distance of 2,5 to 40 km.

Slide from the presentation of the NASAMS air defense system

Procurement of missile systems will be held in the framework of the Land 19 Phase 7B project. In total, it is planned to spend about $ 2 billion on the air defense rearmament program. The Australian government says it will maximize the involvement of local producers in the program. In particular, it is already known that NASAMS missile systems are likely to be equipped with an Australian-designed MEDUSA radar system. In addition, NASAMS plan to use Hawkei armored vehicles on Australian armored vehicles.

The Chinese still need to reach these air defense systems ... In general, NASAMS is an analogue of our Tori and a very good system.

It will be necessary to fly. And the system, I agree, is good.

YES TO THESE AUSTRALIANS NEEDED ??? !!

And from whom will they defend their air defense? is it otherwise the Papuans from New Guinea are preparing a raid?

[almost demobil]

Australians are the bows of Anglicosia, remember their flag. They were told they should, then they must!

You can’t buy much for $ 2 billion. It seems that this is enough for three to four batteries to maintain the level of l / s.

Americans after the war left a lot of things, the crocodile Dandy guards.

Australia decided to fight with new zealand? not bad

[Banishing liberoids]

To be like everyone else, you’re rearming, and so am I. It’s not a real need, but in principle, not lagging behind the neighbors.

Is anyone threatening these island natives?

[Slovak]

they haven’t been told this yet. Stage 1 - buy. Stage 2, they will say why. Stage 3 - explain what to do with it

in Papua, Miklouho-McCly (ud) also bequeathed to keep the spears dry, and the poison liquid

When they write about the armaments of Australia, the question always arises of a possible military conflict, with whom do they want to fight or who threatens them? In fact, their friends are the most important instigators of military conflicts and the main thing is not to quarrel, otherwise the senators will quickly be found in the USA ready to fight against oppression of the kangaroo!

I don’t like these hasty conclusions ...
Australia and the USA together are members of ANZUS https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%90%D0%9D%D0%97%
D0% AE% D0% A1, so it means they do not quarrel, Anglo-Saxon tea and those and others.

What are the hasty conclusions?
The fact is that Australia has the main ally of the United States or the fact that the Americans, without legal grounds, carried out aggression against such countries as Yugoslavia, Iraq, Libya, Afghanistan, or that Erdogan’s independence did not like the main NATO ally and he made a coup.
Enumerate not enumerate

Give an example of a military conflict between the Anglo-Saxons in the 20-21 centuries ....
You can’t, well, okay ...

What does the conflict between impudent sans and US policy toward its allies have to do with it?
Do you have enough stories with Saddam Hussein? How much do you need to recruit former allies and then suddenly become enemies Erdogan is not suitable, Noriega Manuel, Jean-Bertrand Aristide
And what guarantees are there that Australia cannot suddenly become an unfriendly state?

APASUS Today, 21: 57And what guarantees are there that Australia cannot suddenly become an unfriendly state?

At the level of fiction, you can certainly predict, given, especially, that the US is part of the MP with about. Okinawa is being flown to Australia ...

Why are you:

US policy towards its allies?

?
Read the text of the article again, is there not a word about the betrayal of the USA in relation to its allies?

[commbatant]

Money nowhere to go ...
From whom are the wretched gathered to defend themselves, from the Nazi occupiers?
I have not heard that neighboring Indonesia has modern and numerous air forces ....

Gentlemen Australians, do not waste money, nobody needs your sheep and ostriches.

Quote: GSVG 86-88

Your sheep and ostriches do not need anyone.

It’s quite possible to breed ostriches for themselves and under Peter, it’s understandable with sheep, but it’s more expensive to offend crocodiles and a kangaroo. And so yes, two and a half nuclear powers nearby. And so the near future is seen: 2025, the third year of the Pakistan-Australian war, on the principle of "everyone is at war, but are we red?"

In the Antarctic region, they say they saw UFOs, they fly out of the pold. So the aliens will defeat them anyway.

[afrikanez]

One thing is not clear to me, why the hell are the Australians air defense. You might think they need someone! Well, if only China is poised for their territory.

[maai]

Damn it. It didn’t even occur to anyone that someone could make an air raid or rocket attack on Australia .. Eureka !!!))

PS Set another Cook Islands !!!

A new direction in the economy of Australia. Gain experience and technology, sorted out. In 5-10 years they’ll create something of their own. Workplaces. Perhaps they will rivet for export. The options are full.
