A place for Australians and friends to share news from the other countries. Like all communities here, we discuss topics from the Australian perspective.

If you're looking for a global /c/worldnews instead, search for the many options on federated instances.

Rules

Follow the aussie.zone rules
We are not a generic World News clone. News must be relevant to Australians and our region. Obvious disregard will earn an warning and then a ban if continued. (If an article isn't from an Oceanian news outlet, and it doesn’t mention Australia, then it’s probably off-topic)
Leave seppocentrism at the door. If you don't know what that means, you're not ready to post here yet.
Avoid editorialising headlines. Opinions go in the comments, not the post.

New title: ADF gets to play with American toys, while they don't need them.

Seriously, if this doesn't result in full control of production and independent use, then these things are useless to be included in defence plans of Australia.

We'd be better off without them, knowing we absolutley don't have the capability, instead of having the possibility of the rug pulled, like what has happened to Ukraine.

Launch them at the IDF

500km isn't even from Sydney to Melbourne. Couldn't even launch them at Pine Gap.

Well then build non-nuclear ICBMs and launch them at the IDF

[–] Gorgritch_umie_killa@aussie.zone 2 points 1 week ago

Isn't the problem with ICBMs that a tarfet nation doesn't necessarily know its non-nuclear and therefore you get into a sprt of game theory situation where the strongest possible answer is the only coreect answer?
