Australia prepares more assertive military stance to deter conflict FMTNews FMTWorld
SYDNEY: Australia will outline its defence plans on Monday, and its leaders are previewing a more assertive posture – in which it can strike farther, faster – while working with mid-size allies to reduce tensions as the US and China square off.
The Aukus countries last month announced Australia would spend A$368 billion on nuclear-powered submarines, and will jointly develop hypersonic weapons to catch up to China. It also says spending should be focused on weapons such as amphibious landing vehicles, anti-ship missiles and mobile long-range rocket systems.
Australia’s largest joint land military exercise will be held in July involving 30,000 troops from 11 nations, with Philippines, Singapore and Thailand observing. Wong said Australia must avert war, and would not speculate on Taiwan, other than to say a conflict would be “catastrophic for all”. Two-way trade worth A$285 billion a year is dominated by Australian iron ore exports that China cannot easily replace.
