STORY CONTINUES BELOW THESE SALTWIRE VIDEOSSYDNEY - Australia will spend A$1.3 billion to boost its long-range strike capabilities as it finalised on Monday a deal to buy more than 200 Tomahawk cruise missiles from the United States, part of a wide-ranging defence shake-up.
"We are investing in the capabilities our Defence Force needs to hold our adversaries at risk further from our shores and keep Australians safe in the complex and uncertain world in which we live today," Marles said in a statement. The ship-launched version of the missiles, manufactured by RTX Corp, will be deployed on the Royal Australian Navy's Hobart-class destroyers, he said.
Earlier this year it agreed to work with the United States and Britain to develop a nuclear-powered submarine fleet.
