Australia starts a program to replace military equipment

According to the plans of the Australian Ministry of Defense, a tender will be announced in the near future for the supply of the first lot of four as part of the equipment upgrade program. As part of the first phase, the Australian Army will receive new uniforms, personal protective equipment and other "personal items". $420 million is allocated for the first stage, all purchases within the first lot must be made before 2023. It is planned that subsequent lots of the program will include the supply of personal drones, exoskeletons and robotic "mules" for moving cargo. For the entire program LAND 125 Phase 4 Integrated Soldier Systems, the Australian government allocates 1 billion US dollars.

Currently, many countries are investing in the development of new equipment for their armies. Programs for re-equipping servicemen with new gear have been launched in Germany, Great Britain, USA, Italy, Poland and many others. Russia is also working on creating a new outfit of the “Warrior-2” and exoskeleton for it.

      Australia is part of the British Commonwealth, and these will always have enemies. Well, or they themselves will make them. You can recall Anzac in the First World War.

      China extends its sphere of interests far beyond its territorial waters. And in general: "if you want peace, prepare for war."

    In Russia, work is also underway to create new equipment for the "Ratnik-2" and exoskeletons for it.

    They needed to finance a training kangaroo training program for their aircraft instead of drones and exoskeletons.

    - "Bratskaya" to us the PRC and its valiant PLA. In d.sl. even the expansion of militaristic Japan during the Second World War suggests this.
