Australia is acquiring 29 new-build AH-64E Apaches as part of the Army's Armed Reconnaissance Helicopter Replacement Project (Land 4501 Phase 1) to replace its existing 22 Airbus Helicopters Tiger Armed Reconnaissance Helicopters. These in concert with the new Blackhawks means the Army has a functional air wing again.
Thanks good summary. Australia has huge area of operations. Good recce, rapid mobility and significant strike capacity at range are needed as well as very capable ASW point and area air defence. More destroyers, P8s, Tritons, Ghost Bats long range strike aircraft clearly fit such requirements. There needs to be more focus on missiles. Area and point air defence (SAMs) for defence and long range missiles (ATACMs cruise missiles), glide bombs and artillery (eg. Ceasar) for the offence. Additionally, rear basing, dispersal and logistics, including munitions needs beefing up. The nuclear submarines unless armed with cruise missiles are a waste of money. Cruise missile capability would likely be better served through lower cost capabilities like Rapid Dragon.
It’s actually 6 Hunter class frigates and 8 SSN submarines, 3 SSN will be Virginia class SSN with an option to buy 2 more then Australia will build their own under the AUKUS arrangement and that will be 8 SSNs. Australian at the end of the year, will announce the contractor to supply an additional 11 light frigates/ corvettes
@@cplbruiser8267 One example. The Raven Radio. They were refurbished Radios from Sweden when they replaced it with a new Radio. Australia brought them cheap & passed them off as brand-new latest gear. I used the Raven in the 80's. The SLR was old & Australia altered it for Australian standards. It wasn't as good as the original. Shall I keep going?
I love the ADF but It’s taken 20+ years for the Australian government to begin to modernise the ADF. Budget cuts, new governments have all contributed to the lack of foresight to plan. Lucky tech enhancements and large private investment by private companies has seen a surge in manufacturing in the last 10 years. If it wasn’t for the AUKUS agreement we wouldn’t have nuclear Subs. The F35s took a long time to develop and we now have almost a full fleet (still awaiting arrival of the last few) but even they’re now due for upgrades. The Offshore patrol vessels are plagued with setbacks and that was a failed project because our original Armidale class boats were a failure and undertasked to conduct border protection. Our Army still uses Vietnam era ASLAVS because the LAND 400 projects are still ongoing and new land vehicles are being pushed out slowly. The MRH90 helicopter was a failed project and now we don’t have any capability until new Blackhawks come online. The Army and Navy are using civilian companies and leasing helicopters and vessels just to conduct training and keep personnel qualified, The Navy has decommissioned numerous ships in the last few months due to the age of their vessels and on top of that, dwindling numbers of personnel have seen a shift to recruitment and retention because no one wants to work for the ADF anymore. Employment numbers are the lowest they’ve ever been. I’ve never seen a lower point of the ADF until now. Our forefathers would be turning in their graves and I hold high concerns for our future to deal with conflicts if we don’t have the equipment, money and most importantly the personnel.
What good is a tank if you can't transport it overseas. We need naval superiority and an aircraft carrier. Otherwise we are left with a local malitia and nothing else.
😅 all this planned. We know will blow out of budget and come full of problems like everything else we have had like our subs, our vehicles that we forgot had no spare tyre, and the government will cut and slash. We need all that and more
Mostly outdated equipment when you compare it to other countries in the world . Not a lot there to defend us is there .. So where's our land based surface to air missile capability & our missile/Drone defence systems. No good put it on this list if it's planned 74 f35 fighter jet is about 1/2 of the numbers we need . But having fighter jets with no missiles to fire won't do us any good anyway & Australia don't manufacture any We have a limited amount of missiles to arm our fighters in storage. NOW RERUN THE VIDEO WITH THE NUMBERS THAT ARE ACTIVE OR ACTUALLY IN SERVICE NOT WHATS PLANNED OR ORDERED & STOP TRYING TO FOOL THE PUBLIC

Australia needs to have 12 Combat Brigades (6 Mechan., 2 Armored, 2 Cavalry and 2 Light). With 75 000 Personal (72 000 X 12). Army Equip. is 150 M1- A2 MB Tanks, 450 Boxer + 700 Red Back IFV, 1500 Bushrangers, 9500 Other Vehicles, 700 105 mm Guns, 150 155 mm Sp. / Guns, 1400 Morters 81 mm, 75 NASAM - 1, 150 Stigers - 1 (SAM), 75 Hawk - 1 ( SAM), 450 Helicopters.

With 9 Hobart Class Destroyers, 9 Hunter Class Frigates, 9 Loss Angles Destroyers, 9 Arafura Class Corvettes, 18 Patrol Boats, 9 Mine Hunters, 9 Amphibian Landinging Ships, 36 LC -M, 18 LC -L, 3 Supply /Oilers, 9 Supply Ships, 3 LSD, 3 LSH, 3 Training Ships, 1 AirCraft Carriers, 9 Loss Angeles Sumbarines and 6 SNN Sumbarines. Plus 2 Missile Brigades (36 NASAM -1 and, 18 Anti ship Launches). Also 18 Ammunition Sites and 9 Oil Sites. Plus 150 Anti - Ship Missiles 3000 km /D. Then Australia will become a Super Power.
We never procure enough equipment for anything above niche or training. There is no depth in platforms, consumables or manpower. The is no stomach politically to have a force that could genuinely and reasonably protect Australia.
Not in full swing though, we still operate our 59 M1A1 AIM Abrams tanks, not all 100 M1A2 Sep V3 variants have arrived in Australia yet, we ordered them years ago and only just started having them land in country 2-3 months ago with released photographs by Defence.
@beaverdam1199 where did you get 100 from, we're only getting 75. We are getting frames for them that we will use as breacher vehicles and such, but that's not the same.
I hope you are correct about there being only 3 Hunters ordered ?? There were originally 9 ordered but they are fat, underguned, problematic and hugely over budget and behind schedule. We need 3 more (updated) Hobarts and a dozen corvettes, i.e. Navantia Tasman Class.
Just as long as we don't waste any more money on the Anzacs we're retiring, my father served onboard HMAS Hobart from 1990-1997 as a surface weapons officer, HMAS Hobart was a DDG builtin the 60s which served till the early 2000s, most of the Anzacs are 20 ish years old and are already being retired and phased out

The Australians army fought bravely in Malaysia during the Japanese Occupation and also the Indonesia Confrontation. The British army in Singapore were useless and surrender meekly. The British employ the Indians Punjabs and Gurkhas to do the fighting and expand the British Empire. But their poorly trained army in Asia was soon massacars and capture by the Japanese.
