Australia continues to "amuse" with options for the development of the submarine fleet

Due to the fact that the commissioning of the first Virginia submarines (if it happens at all) is expected sometime in the early 2030s, the possibility of re-equipping the Collins submarines to use the Tomahawk CRBD is being discussed. Australia continues to "cheer" ...

The boats are no longer very new, besides, they are unsuccessful in design. Spending still very large sums on their rearmament does not seem very reasonable. These boats were problematic even at the tender and design stage. Already at the conclusion of the contract, there were well-founded accusations of bias and corruption, since the tender was won by a not very well-known Swedish company, leaving behind eminent competitors from Germany, France, England, etc.

During the construction process, scandals also periodically occurred during the assembly of buildings and the installation of equipment. Immediately after the start of operation, it turned out that the boats were very noisy and the technical reliability was low. It took very serious and expensive alterations. Then there were considerable expenses in arming these submarines with the American Harpoon anti-ship missiles.

And now, the Australians set out to spend even more considerable sums on the re-equipment of these boats, especially since they themselves simply do not need submarines with CRBD. The US needs them to create additional problems for China. Since Tomahawks will be able to fly to China from areas located north of Australia. But why is it for the Australians? ..

        And bast shoes (two posts above) do not understand this. Until now, they consider themselves the smartest and count on a nuclear club, naively believing that after its use they will not fly back.

      When Australia was a British colony, the British themselves, who lived on their island, considered the English who moved to Australia to be inferior people. After all, a significant part of white Australians are the descendants of criminals, outcasts. As, however, a significant number of US citizens, the so-called WASP. With the right mentality. You can't pick out genes with your finger.

    The answer is in the article itself! The Americans need it, and the Australians, accordingly, need it, even if they don't. Wow, how twisted! But, the meaning is probably clear.

      The United States is creating AUCUS to restore its industry, not Britain's. In addition, it is the internal problems of the United States that they are trying to overcome in this way. In this sense, the British are also competitors (and have been recognized as such for a long, long time). Nominally, the KVB contributes its VS to AUCUS, but such rhetoric can only deceive reporters, not even editors-in-chief. Investments in weapons determine who feeds the girl. The Kingdom is no longer a cake, but only icing. In the sense that the "Five Eyes" still represent a consolidated position of their elite, not like in DC.

        So far, they haven't created anything. Shipbuilding (ship repair) capacity, at the same level as it was. And to expect their increase, judging by the report to Congress, it will take another 10 years.

      A. The US branch in the British Isles has managed to build only four nuclear submarines with Tridents leased from the Yankees. And then 3-4 pieces. Sounds very menacing. By the way, we also rented Nerpa. No, not to the Chinese. Hindus. My heart feels this Nerpa and the Australians are afraid

    And what did the author find "fun"?
    Tomahawks were originally made universal in terms of carriers, including standard torpedo tubes. Retrofitting equipment for preparation and launch is not such an impossible or expensive task.
    The boats have long been planned to be modernized to extend their service life, especially since they are not so old, and as part of this modernization, to equip them with Tomahawks. The boats will be in service until 2040.
    Six Collins-class submarines were built at the ASC shipyard in Osborne (South Australia) according to a modified design of the Swedish diesel-electric submarines of the Type-471 class (also known as Västergötland). They were commissioned between 1996 and 2003. The LOTE program is designed to upgrade the platform and combat systems to extend the 30-year service life of each boat by another ten years.

      The oldest boat is already 26 years old, and they were built for 6-8 years. While they were standing on the slipway, the fatigue of the metal did not go away))) by the time the modernization is over, "Collins" may already be under 30 and will be safely written off)))

        Right way, comrades! smile
        Putting the ship in overhaul / modernization and decommissioning immediately upon exit - there is something painfully familiar in this. smile True, individual copies were "lucky" to be decommissioned without even leaving the repair.

    The doctrine of the Russian Federation on the use of strategic nuclear weapons assumes a Counter Nuclear Strike. If changes follow and the concept "At the Appointed Time" is approved, then only at the request of the staff of the CISO.

      Ezekiel 25-17 (Andrew)

      The doctrine of the Russian Federation on the use of strategic nuclear weapons assumes a Counter Nuclear Strike

      It hasn't been like that for eight years now.
      “The Russian Federation reserves the right to use nuclear weapons in response to the use against it and (or) its allies of nuclear and other types of weapons of mass destruction, as well as in case of aggression against the Russian Federation using conventional weaponswhen the very existence of the state is threatened. The decision to use nuclear weapons is made by the President of the Russian Federation.”

    What nonsense on the ears.
    If a new NWO can arise near the borders of Austria, then of course Australia will not sit idly by. The only question is what to buy specifically.
    More or less ready, for training, so that there is enough money.
    Here are the options.

    We still cannot offer our submarines and nuclear submarines to her. Few by ourselves.

    Once upon a time, Australia considered itself the only country that would survive the nuclear apocalypse, and would choose which of the refugees can be accepted. Now, apparently, being the target of a nuclear missile is more profitable.

    Don't understand here?
    Submarines of the "Virginia" type have been in service since 2004, 22 of them have already been built.

    The US needs them to create additional problems for China. Since Tomahawks will be able to fly to China from areas located north of Australia. But why is it for the Australians? ..

    Australia has made no promises to the United States that it will support it in a conflict with China over Taiwan in exchange for US nuclear submarines, Australian Defense Secretary Richard Marles said on March 21, Military.com reports.
    "Absolutely not, and I couldn't be more unambiguous," Marles said.
