    SEA 1180 OPV (Royal Australian Navy)

    EF88 commercial variant could bump up civilian familiarity, says industry expert

    Ok, WTF? is all I can say about this brain fart of an idea! Is Australian Defence really so desperate for enticing recruits for it's headlong war against China to come up with such a pathetic metaphoric carrot, and is Thales so desperate for sales of their product?

    CA-12 Boomerang Evolution

    In July 1940 the hounded British government warns the Australians of an imminent embargo of any aviation materials. On 10 December 1941 the capital ships of the Royal Navy H.M.S. Prince of Wales and H.M.S. Repulse are sunk by Japanese airplanes. On 21 December of the same month, the firm...

    Should Australia get The Bomb?

    In the title and best kept as theory. But at least worth exploring this. Certainly we have a AH history option which above all shows Australia doesn't lack the theoretical capacity to achieve this. But in terms of operations, it would seem best for them to either build silos or road train...

    Australian Nuclear Weapons

    Anyone interested in Australian attitudes to getting nuclear weapons should start with this thread that explains how difficult it is and the US role. https://www.secretprojects.co.uk/threads/uk-thermonuclear-warheads.10419/post-98670 The UK experience with the US would be similar for Australia.
