US convinces Australians to buy submarines from Japan

51
The White House and the Pentagon are pushing Australia to buy new submarines in Japan, reports MIC with reference to The Australian newspaper.



The publication recalls that "the participants in the tender announced by the Australian government to update the underwater fleet are Germany, France and Japan, offering their models of non-nuclear submarines, which should replace the six obsolete Australian submarines of the Collins class. "

The Australian Navy plans to order up to 12-submarines with a total value of about $ 50-billion.

Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull recently visited Washington, where he discussed, among other issues, the purchase of submarines with Barack Obama and Secretary of Defense Ashton Carter.

“US officials publicly maintain neutrality in Australia’s choice of supplier country, but privately express preference for Japan’s victory in this tender,” the newspaper writes. “In turn, high-ranking Australian official sources fear that if France (Barracuda submarine) or Germany (216 submarine) were chosen, they would not be able to equip the new submarine fleet with the latest American military technology.”

The publication explains Washington’s support for Japanese “Soryu” class submarines by a number of technological and political factors.

“Washington intends to actively develop military cooperation with its main allies in the Asia-Pacific region, and these are precisely Japan and Australia. Americans also have great doubts about Germany’s ability to reliably protect its technologies from China’s industrial espionage, ”emphasizes Australian.

With reference to its sources, the newspaper also reports that the Australian Cabinet of Ministers will make a decision on the tender “in the middle of the year”.

            So they don’t seem to hide this, talking about new military technologies in arming Japanese boats. And weapons are expensive consumables for a long time.
            if they choose France (Barracuda class submarine) or Germany (216 class submarine), they will not be able to equip the new submarine fleet with the most modern American military technologies

              True, the last - “George W. Bush” ”(USS George HW Bush CVN-77) cost $ 6 + billion.
              In any case, a very strange price for diesel-electric submarines, even with an anaerobic power plant.

                  Probably scary. I doubt that after the lesson that Ukraine has shown to the world, someone wants the same. They will probably act in a different way. By the way, their bureaucrats already have practice, because of the unrest in the streets to lay down their powers. There is a high probability that they will listen to people on the streets.

                    Moldova is one of the few countries with a large part of the capable population located outside it (they work, study, live). And therefore, I do not think that these are just threats. The thieves and poverty within the country have simply crossed all borders.

      Do you think that Australia is in the region of Russia's interests? And if, in fact, it’s interesting what boats will be delivered. Now "Soryu" is Stirling Engines, but the Japanese decided to abandon them in the future and switch to lithium-ion batteries. Interestingly, Japan in operation (2016) will have diesel-electric, diesel + Sterling, diesel + lithium-ion, which, of course, during the exercises will give them the opportunity to qualitatively evaluate all types of boats in practice, in conditions close to combat, but the trend is however visible , Stirling is still being abandoned. In connection with the aforementioned, what are they talking about to the Australians, then there is another interesting point, judging by the timing of the submarine's commissioning, Japan has been building no more than 1 boat a year, already since 1991, how are they going to deliver 12 to Australia?

    Tip-216 is still not very soon put on stream, and Barracuda seems to be atomic, and Australia chooses from non-atomic ones. Therefore, the choice is in principle logical. What strikes me most is the other, why is Australia so ardently arming itself? For example, New Zealand is nearby, it is not audible, it doesn’t buy anything seriously serious militarily, but Australia is the opposite.
    And where does the price of 50 billion dollars come from? Nuclear submarines cost 1,8-2,5 billion dollars, you can buy 20 nuclear submarines, but not nuclear cheaper ones.
