The United States will transfer its technologies and developments to Australia for its own production of missiles

The American military industrial company Lockheed Martin announced that it has hired the Australian company Conscia to determine future sites for the construction of a new plant. Lockheed Martin Vice President Pat Sanderlin said the first new plant should be ready two to three years after Lockheed chooses a site.

All of this is part of a 1 billion Australian dollar (about 40 billion rubles) program called Sovereign Guided Weapons and Explosive Ordnance Enterprise (GWEO), which was first announced in March 2021 by the previous government. Australia has committed itself to producing more munitions on its territory and weaponsincreasingly aware of their vulnerability to unstable supply chains. The reasons for this vulnerability are called “adversary actions” and “pandemic”. What exactly "opponents" prevent Australia from implementing supply chains, Canberra did not report.

Lockheed and Raytheon are Australia's largest suppliers of guided weapons. The government's goal is for them to quickly strengthen their ability to maintain and manufacture guided weapons and their components in this country, which recently became one of the members of the new military bloc AUKUS.

According to Pat Sanderlin, part of Lockheed's goal is to "increase the speed of production, reliability and quality of missiles" in Australia. The company also announced in a statement that it will open a new facility in partnership with Thales Australia in the province of New South Wales as part of this effort.

This will bring Australia one step closer to a national guided weapons capability and also set us up for potential future exports of Australian-made products.

James Heading, director of programs for Lockheed Martin Australia's Office of Strategic Opportunities for missiles and fire control, said in a statement.

Thales Australia already operates a state-owned enterprise in New South Wales and has invested heavily in state-of-the-art, state-of-the-art production equipment there.

Thus, the American military-industrial complex continues to increase the pace of work related to the coverage of more and more new territories, not only in the sale of its products, but also in terms of planting more and more countries on technologies that make the military industry of these countries totally dependent on the United States.

Are the Australians going to war with kangaroos? Or who threatens them there? Dolphins?

Or platypuses. And other jellyfish.
Damn, the Australians have already slapped a minus. I gave out their military secret aloud

[krot]

The Anglo-Saxons are going to take over the world, and they definitely want to destroy Russia! We need more nuclear missiles .. Not only NATO anymore ..

With whom His Majesty Charles III will order with that and they will fight. Australia has not missed a single war where Great Britain participated, including World Wars 1 and 2. They are building a coalition against China. According to the plans, Australia will rearm on a large scale and become a very serious regional player. They still have a decent army and navy.

[Nickelium]

It is clear that they are preparing for China. I think that they will thoroughly take up the monkey, which sits in thought on a bamboo trunk.

[dauria]

I think that they will thoroughly take up the monkey,

"Monkey" produces 30% of the electricity in the world. USA only 15%. Even the USSR never overtook the states in this indicator. This is already King Kong, not a monkey. They woke up late.

[Nickelium]

Yes, at least 130. The more motivation to take possession of his wealth. Well, if there is also a tiger and paper, then no Duracell will save him.

[solar]

China has 6 times more people than the states, it is clear that they consume more electricity.

At first I was scared, I think, where does Australia get its production facilities from? And then he calmed down, it turns out in 3-5 years. Excellent. I like these optimists.

Australia is a highly developed country with a mixed market economy. [30] [31] As of 2022, Australia was the 13th largest national economy by nominal GDP (gross domestic product),

Of course, you will excuse me, but Australia has always been the w-sing of the world. And besides highlighting Britain, she did nothing.

[orionvitt]

Cons me naphali, and to hell with them, but Britain will fall (which is not far off), Australia will fall. Australia I write with a small letter, otherwise there is a lot of honor. Like a continent, yes. As a state no..

[Emergency]

China will not be allowed to sit out on the shore, waiting for the passing corpse of the enemy. Australia is appointed to the role of the overseer in the region?

[Zagrebun]

I repeat the question that torments me: who is preventing Russia from establishing a program to conquer Mars with the DPRK? Rocket carriers, technologies (mainly the USSR) and other fentiflyushki?

[solar]

And what is "the conquest of Mars"? Is it to put a flag there, or what?

[orionvitt]

Something new. Australia is already on the list of super duper states?

[ilya.muromczev2013]

Russia also needs to think: maybe it is worth transferring some technology (or even the missiles themselves) to Iran, North Korea, Syria, Venezuela ...

[AAC]

For what? What if in 3-5-10 years they would change their shoes and use our technologies against us?

[Fizik13]

We read between the lines - the United States will open its own company (buy out) in Australia for the production of missiles.
Whoever refuses such a tidbit, of course, should produce only their own.
