Are you saying the New Zealand is an ‘UNLIKELY’ ally for Australia? That is like saying that you left testicle is unlikely to be found near your right testicle. Australia and New Zealand have been allies since each were founded. Always together.
I think they're referring to Germany
@@peterson7082 yeah for some reason NZ especially has a weird aversion to US made gear.
@@goofyproductions2672 just nuclear weapons and other nuclear technologies. Their population is small and they have no real need. Otherwise they are fine with the USA.
@@goofyproductions2672 So the recently bought
* P-8A's,
* C-130J-30 Hercules,
* T-6C Texan II,
* Boeing 757
* Super King Air

* Javelin Anti -Tank weapons
* M242 Bushmaster chain gun
* Phalanx CIWS
* Modular Assault Rifle System - Light (MARS-L)
* 5"/54 caliber Mark 45 main naval gun...
All above is US equipment the NZDF have and I can keep going if yah want me to... so your point is moot
@@paulroberts3639 I think Australia just has more of a better relationship with the US than NZ does due to fact Australia was more involved militarily with the US since the first world war. New Zealand was there too. But because they was so much smaller and provided a smaller role. The US looked at them more of the man on the bench. New Zealand has more relationship with Australia and other allies more so. So when it comes to the kiwis and US it's like seeing a old friend you haven't seen for a long time. The mateship there. But it's awkward between the two.
Love the Arnold Schwarzeneggar narration on these vids.
😂😂😂
Australian must be stronger protecting all people in Australia and protecting lands and healthy future generations and safety first strong defence for Australia
New Zealand needs to recover the two decommissioned ships they are going to be reused again and take clame of these ships
What are your thoughts on the new Constellation class frigates finally staring construction? Can you do a video on them?
Could do!
The Australians are building the Type 26 instead.
@@abrahamdozer6273 I'm talking about the US
@@Joshua-dt5vi They opted for something that they can build quickly. The USN is massively short of Frigates and the Littorals turned out to be a bust. The Ardleigh Burks are aging out rapidly. The Type 26 that the UK, Canada and Australia chose don't have any history yet and there is a USN regulation about purchasing an unproven design, so you get the "Euro Frigate". Congrats!
@@abrahamdozer6273 despite the constellation being based on the Fremm they both look and are drastically different from eachother, the constellation is longer, heavier, is more heavily armed, is gonna have the spy-6 radar and everything, but once again I'm talking about the US not Australia. Also the DDG-51 won't retire until 2028-2030, by then a lot of flight III Burkes would have been built already.
With only 8 VLS this is little more than an upgunned OPV and not suited to genuine Naval warfare environment.
I agree…with 16 fitted and a sea wiz or sea ram plus towed array it would cut the mustard
Relagate them to Convoy escort but more sonar equipment would help that too.
Genuine naval warfare environment?🤔 when was that??
As has been customary in the past our warships have always been under armed even the new hobart class (original designs had another vls at the rear though true to form this was not folllowed thru on) but recent / current China activity has seen maybe the penny drop ?
Maybe we should be looking at newest Meko 300 which seems pack a punch for its size as if they can splash 368 bill on 5 subs (which = just 2 at sea) then we can afford to get it right for once in 60 plus years ...maybe
You should do an analysis of the AUKUS submarine deal with a focus on explaining the high cost of the deal. How prevalent is corruption in Australian defense procurement? 🤔
Also turning the de-nuclear-zone into a nuclear-zone.
This aukus is USA winning and everyone else loosing.
The costs for that submarine is not just to build the subs. It requires training workers, constructing the facility to build it and the upgrades for whereever the subs will be based.
Defence Minister KIm Beazley and his Australian National University advisiors, Hugh White and Paul Dibb were mainly interested in creating industry jobs and local defence against say Indonesia. Neither the Collins sub design or the Anzac frigate really in anyway could be regarded as fulfilling RAN Australian under the Anzus Treaty or Radford Collins or its Anzus Marsar updated agreement. The Anzac frigates unlike the River class and RNZN Rothesay and Leander are not effective cold water anti submarine frigates, with a high degree of silencing and ability to operate globally and in particular south of Australia escorting ship up on a back up route from the Indian ocean via Perth , Adelaide Bass and Fouveaux straight and in the Southern Ocean.
@@carisi2k11 And the AUD 368 Billion will include R&D into the SSN AUKUS next generation submarines, I believe.
Canada rebuilt the RNZN ships in Vancouver.
Upgraded them not built
@@davidsmith607
I said upgraded.
NZ may be offered to buy Australia 3 AWDs in 2030s. Apparently Australia is building 9 Hunter class based on the type 26 design but will scale back that to 3 less of a total of 6, And will be turning another 3 hunter class to an even much larger design with with 110 cell VLS matching that of China type 055 destroyers. And Australia planing to make up the rest of the fleet with heavily armed corvettes. But they haven't stated how many. RAN is now under another review with ex US admiral choosing the next fleet size and varents.
Apparently they also looking to turn the new Awafra class OPV into mine hunters.
So what I know is definitely going ahead.
6 hunter class frigates 32 cell VLS.
3 hunter class super destroyers 110cell VLS.
5 nuclear powerd Virginia class SSN block V. Eventually 8 new UK design SSNR.
Corvettes but how many is ?
Awafra class maybe turned into mine hunters.
The final report will be told at the end of 2023.
Hopefully they add a jump jet carrier along with it. With F35B
If NZ is offered the Hobart class. That is the F100 class destroyers they should take them. They was only built 2017 and the third one was built 2020. They also been upgraded with spy 6 radar. And improvements to Aegis combat systems Aegis 9 and electronic warfare
@@Nathan-ry3yu See it to believe it especially with this Labor Govt lol............
The word is "refit" in navy lingo.
you have a mistake the total order was for 10 ships 6 for Aus 4 for NZ and the kiwis double crossed us and only brought 2 leaving Aus to pay for the extra 2 and to then have to find ways to crew them
that is not quite true... the order was for two with the option for two more if desired...
There is a difference
What?? Australia was always getting 8 ANZACs, the 2 extra frigates for NZ were always options and would have resulted in a 12 ship build, Australia did not just buy 2 NZ frigates🤦♂️. You may want to look up and understand the term options, almost all projects have options.
@@regregan6852 BS
And just give them away dam!! couldn't even sell us any at all Anzac🇳🇿 NZ🇦🇺
This thing is a 🦕 in terms of modern warfare standards…it’s also a plant eater, no teeth!
Do you not take the time to chew when you eat your veggies JD? :)
@@NavalEnthusiast 😂, nice, haha.
They was only built late 90s early 2000. But they are getting replaced. When the ANZAC class meko 200 warships was built in Australia it was under a period when China wasn't a threat. Or neither was any other country in the region. RAN didn't require heavily armed warships till now.
How to become frigates without virtical missile much bitter call corvettes
"The Anzac Class has a Mark 41 VLS system of 8 cells. They carry the evolved Sea Sparrow missile." It's right there at 5:02 in the voice-over!
So this is a robot voice... I thought this is Eurasia Naval Insight...
wait no you are Eurasia Naval Insight you can't fool me
you can't fool us with that accent

Not enough of them. Not enough fire power.
Hence why they're being replaced
Newcastle.
Brown Ale.
We are not in your AUKUS and have low military support could of at least given NEW ZEALAND Frigate's, keep the 💯🇦🇺🇳🇿AnzacNZ🇦🇺🇳🇿💯 going
Retire the ANZAC Class.. or fix'em up for the Coast Guard.
... and sail in what, again?
When the Hunters are ready they will be retired. The Ceafar radar upgrade gives our anzacs much more capability then any other Meko although it would be nice to install the extra 8 vls cells in the interim.
@@Leon1Aust - Well then, fix them up and get on with it. Or make a deal with the French, they could use a new contract. Might get a good deal after the sub thing. The Chinese want everything around Australia lately. Sucks but it's true. If I did not give a crap, I would say nothing.
@@TheFlutecart Fix what exactly? The platform isn't broken, it's just older, but it's still an effective platform and DOES bring a multirole capability to the RAN.
RAN units aren't designed to operate independently, the fleet is intended to work ISO of other vessels as part of a task group. A single ANZAC won't be taking on a Renhai on it's own, it'll do with 2 Arleigh's and a Hobart as well.
No towed Array you say. I was Shadow Commissioning Crew on Anzac and Towed Array is so much more than you say. Talk about ridiculous false claims
Towed away sonar old technology now. Drone swarms is the way to go for sub detection.
A very poorly armed ship now being put out of service with have a new patrol boat no weapons 2 carriers with no aircraft 2 new supply ships both out of action major repairs.
You seem to think running around posting stupidity on as many of these videos as possible is a good idea.
It's not.
Interest accent. Sounds like Aussie+Japanese
Great, now they can defend their trade with China, from China XD
XD
Looking backwards is no plan for the future.......
Too right. We also trade with other countries in the area and so having the south china sea not dominated by a beligerant communist nation is a very worthwhile cause.
@@carisi2k11 You are a total idiot kid.
you are so increadably stupid i cannot not insult you.
"beligerant" ?????? Oh God you are so fucking dumb kid.
China is right after Iran the second most peacefull major nation.
Iran has never attacked anyone and they are one of the oldest nations on earth and China is the oldest nation on earth and i living history they have only ever attacked ONCE, Vietnam, in a border dispute.
YOU are the beligerant ones, China does not attack, China does to spread their system, YOU do, You are the waring empire ...
how stupid do you need to be, to twist reality 180°
sorry but THE WORLD IS OUR CUSTOMER NOT just the paper dragon
