You might want to explain that one, Kelly. The US delivered a $5 billion coup d'etat in democractic Ukraine in 2014, launched by Secretary of State and diagnosed psychopath Victoria Nuland, forcing the President to flee for his life. The US then funded the AZOV Nazis to murder 14,000 Russian-speaking Ukrainian men women and children, the survivors of which pleaded with Putin to come to their aid. Putin understood the trap the US was setting and redeveloped his military machine before coming to the rescue. The people of eastern Ukraine and Crimea spoke Russian because they were Russian. In a referendum, democracy in action, 97% of Crimeans voted to return to Russia, from whence they came. And you say we are protecting innocent children. There should be a special word for your kind of blind strupidity.

Australia needs to get on the front foot of small FPV Drones and hypersonics. When will Australia lead the world in something? We used to be the best at a lot of things. But I dont know of anything that Australia is #1 except for maybe Mullets. Prior to the year 2000, Australia led the world in telecommunications. unbelievable.
I personally despise seeing FPV drones used as a weapon, but the Australian military is actually leading the world in FPV. The Army has made drone racing an official sport, and they just won the military international drone racing tournament (again).
LMAO Australia is in the lead with FPV drones and hypersonics. that hypersonic scramjet drone in the video, that company has world fastest scramjet at mach 12, Australia is the world leader in scramjet technology and has been helping USA since 2000, USA HAWC and HACAM scramjet missiles were developed with Australian technology. they will not admit it it was. Now FPV drones, Australia has most advanced with fully AI, inbuilt radars, target recognition and tracking systesm, soft and hard kill anti drone systems. used in USA and UK militaries and given to Ukraine. lots more too..
It’s about time DOD and the Military start realising that Australia has been an innovator for many years and that we have the capability to create these systems and devices in Australia. The Government needs to wake up to what is coming and start preparing for a large regional conflict. If we have learnt anything from COVID, it is that without manufacturing in Australia we are stuffed. As for the Ghostbat, great concept except that the US won’t give us the ability to arm this aerial vehicle. Now just a very expensive surveillance vehicle now.
Already in use. Were seen in use over Canberra during Prince wingnuts recent visit.. regularly seen at height and at high speed during the later hours of a night, preferably clear of clouds and under good moonlight so that their active camouflage is useless
lol China world fastest hypersonic wind tunnel is stolen Australian Ray Stalker technology.. Australia been helping USA in hypersonics since Ray Stalker became 1st to get essence of flight from scramjets. All their scramjet hypersonic missiles were developed through HIFIRE and SCIFIRE joint hypersonic tests.. you can see their launches and research the tests on internet.. The Australian company with the scramjet drone has world fastest scramjet at mach 12....
Uncrewed systems will obviously be critical in future defence of Australia given small population, difficulty recruiting and increasingly technical long leadtime training demands. With enough expenditure on uncrewed systems Australia will be able to take on much larger opponents than was previously the case.
The problem I see is that only little is strongly supported by the Australian government. Many rely on foreign investment; more get taken over and are developed by foreign countries (the US mainly); Next to nothing is produced by us and frequently we end up with no access to the technology (no sovereignty), thus it is more a sham than real Aussie development capability. These projects need to be Australian owned (or at the minimum majority Australian owned) and heavily supported by the Australian government as independent, sovereign defence projects, backed by a strong Australian industry.
These are important, but nuclear submarines are essential. In event of war with China, they are the only system able to operate in the distant seas around and north of Indonesia, and towards the Middle East. Surface ships have a big role t5o play, but are far more vulnerable than nuclear submarines. Additionally, the nuclear submarines will be able to launch many of the missile systems. In addition to the nuclear submarine fleet, we almost certainly need to invest in a long range stealth bomber such as the B-21.
@ I am sure you are right, and that the world's most powerful navy's are really powerless because their nuclear submarines are useless because montys420 said so.
@artistjoh i wasn't replying to your comment, dude!🤦♂️🤣🤣🤣 i was replying to the original comment saying the investment in nuke subs was a waste, theyre essential for blocking shipping lanes! You Probably need to learn to understand how comment sections work! See how in this 1 it has an @??
@@montys420- We are 100% in agreement about the urgent need for nuclear submarines. Personally, I think that AUKUS is the best defense decision any Australian governments since the World War II decision to realign Australia with a Pacific oriented US administration. The submarines are essential, but I think it will be the Tier Two technologies, especially drones and AI that will be the biggest benefit of AUKUS long term, especially in the second half of the century. Also, getting missile production up and running on Australian territory. But for the original commenter to suggest the submarines are unimportant is absurd. The fact that he calls them "atomic" suggests he is somewhat out of touch with modern discussions about the technologies and capabilities involved. The submarines are likely to become even more important as surface ships become less effective than they have been in the past. I have been very pleased at the speed with which the infrastructure side of things has been developing, from training sailors, to development at HMAS Stirling. Usually Australian projects are glacially slow, but this time I see things progressing as they should.
If autonomous killing machines become self aware, they might just do something their human counterparts have failed to do in the history of conflict. This being getting together with the opposing autonomous killing machines and figure out who the true enemy is.
Having been a supplier to the DSTO in the past I know that they tend to overlook Australian innovations until they are being purchased by the Americans. So the best solution for most of these small suppliers is for them to get contracts with American companies and then the ADF and other parts of the Australian military will turn around and think that perhaps that's the signal to actually purchase these things. The other thing is the fact that Sypac and others are supplying their products to Ukraine: it is a brilliant strategy to prove the products are ready for the modern battlespace. I'm just happy to hear that we're embracing the idea of small, smart, and many. The old beltway bandit approach of high precision high cost low volume weapons just isn't going to work in this age of low-cost high volume smart drones and munitions. It would be a disaster if we were not thinking about ways of producing low-cost smart mass weapons.
@@stewartc4558 All of it is lol. Australia is going big in sovereign manufacturig. SCOMO set up a lot as China threat came in. all hypersonics are built in Australia. have robot painting, rocket fuels amd motors being built. Hypersonixs i have been following for years and it is all sovereign built, even bought a special furnace to manufacture materials to handle hypersonic speeds and temperatures...
@@nedkelly9688 great if true. but where do the chips that are needed come from? What about the metals and structural elements? Very little iron ore turned tinto steel in Australia. We have no onshore fuel reserves and no way to turn what oil/gas we have into anythng now.
Great video. So happy to hear of Australian contributions. Also just FYI it's "Ukraine" not "the Ukraine". After the collapse of the Soviet Union, Ukrainians decided that it denigrated their country [by identifying it as a part of Russia] and abolished 'the' while speaking English, so now it is simply Ukraine, it was a hugely symbolic change. So these days using "the Ukraine" implies disregard for Ukrainian sovereignty as the official Ukrainian position is that "the Ukraine" is both grammatically and politically incorrect.
3:44 5 rounds 400 mm grenade launcher, on a drone ! Yeah I don't think so. Are there even 400mm grenades rounds ? I think the AI auto narration got that one wrong.
saids will fly early 2025. it will fly but for how long is the question. the scramjet used had earlier versions that flew successfully in Australia part of HIFIRE joint USA, Australia hypersonic tests.. can follow it ind of through internet.. Hypersonixs has the world fatest scramjet at mach 12 tested in Australia Ray Stalker hypersonic wind tunnels. The Aussie inventor of the scramjet and drone worled at NASA for few decades and all he did was design scramjets for NASA.. probably X51 is his design.. He returned to Australia as USA gave up on hypersonics ....
Glad I joined and left the army during the 80's, hopefully I won't be around for any war that involves these. As Einstein is often quoted as saying: "I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones" This is not something to be proud of. It is something to be fearful of. No matter how good our weapons are, the enemy will always have something similar or even better.
Can a young man that is defeated in the battlefield surrender to a drone ? I noticed one chasing a young boy around a damaged vehicle in your video. Is there room for mercy in drone warfare, given the impersonal style of combat ?
You would need an agreed protocol on how to get a surrendering person back to required location which in most cases probably isn't going to be possible given the range of drones
I feel that Australia's contribution to Ukraine is primarily a means to test lots of technologies, technologies it relies on to make up for a lack of man power. Essentially, Australia relies on tech rather than humans, and because we lack enough enemies to test it against in the field, then Ukraine supplies an opportunistic "moral" situation for us to test the tech we need. You see it with UAVs, Cybertech, and drone defence.
Don’t forget Australia was the mother of all drones withe Pika and then Jindivick of GAF unfortunately the Hawk Labor government in its wisdom sat completely every Australian aircraft factory like GAF CAC AAC HAWKER DE HAVILAND etc.
Wow, the difference between how our (Australian) soldiers are training and equipped and this video of how things could be in the future is stark, to say the least.
Australian military info is invariably easier to obtain from American sites. Interesting to see a little from Australia. The fact is Australia seems to be so far behind the game in most areas that it’s scary. It’s like we are just beginning to wake up from decades of sleep. No successful military nations make decisions based domestic politics, the many submarine debacles have been totally humiliating
lmfao Australia is ahead of the game in many aspects lil guy..FPV drones who do you think gave the idea to Ukraine. Australia has FPV drones with fully AI, AI swarm, inbuilt radars, soft and hard kill enemy drone systsm, these are used in USA and UK military. Australia has ai submersible drones, lots of ai vehicles, ships. Australia ahead in hypersonics and taught USA how to develop scramjets lmfao.. Australia has world fastest scramjet...
Drone wars getting interesting. Folded cardboard model plane verses verse very expensive tanks. I bet some tank manufacturers are cursing or rubbing hands for more Tank orders.
Hahahaha. The Cope here is extraordinary. ALL of your enemies are already fielding Hypersonics THAT WORK. You have a bunch of shiny toys that underperform when shit hits the fan. Your best defensive weapon is your geography. Your worst asset is your alliances. Make Australia Australian again. When China is your ally, not your enemy, things will be different.
Is not defence, it is private companies building this tech and most times selling it to foreign militaries when ours do not even get it.. The Australian hypersonic drone is in America now..
no way in hell id ever join the army again. this will cause a whole new level of ptsd. literally any mistake in covering up from drones (with multispectral cameras btw, infrared) will be a death sentence
They are, this Australian company has world fastest scramjet at mach 12. China world fastest hypersonic wind tunnel is stolen Australian Ray Stalker designed free piston shock tunnels that many countries buy.. Ray Stalker was 1st to get essence of flight from scramjets.. no other country had before him. Australian who built the hypersonic drone worked at NASA all he did was design scramjets. USA scramjets are based off Australian designs lmgfao. Chinese studied at University of Queensland where Ray Stalker taught and so did Australian with the world fastest scramjet. The hypersonic wind tunnel design China stole is at the University of Queensland lmfao.. how they stole it.. All you have to do is type in HIFIRE and see Australia hypersonics programmes....
@@acmelka it's been called that for hundreds of years. We may default to "Ukraine" but in older maps it was denoted as "the Ukraine" as if naming a region instead of a specific nation ... Or so the back of my resinated brain seems to recall. But I believe those in Ukraine prefer Ukraine not The Ukraine
One of the main benefits of advanced weapons is deterrence. Its like winning a war without having to fight it and everyone knows it - particularly Putin who is always announcing all his latest weapons as if they actually work 😂
LMFAO i been following most for years, is found freely on Australian defense sites and many other journalists on technology. these companies need funding and Australia governent does not, so they look international Go search Hypersonixs hypersonic drone,, been public for years.. even had on their website a countdown to its first flight, taken down now though....
Some very scary shit here. I mean at "mach 7 " you are virtually dead in the time it takes to press the launch button. This is a far cry from being the 3Rd country to put a satellite in space.
actually the Hypersonixs company with the drone has world fastest scramjet. this scramjet has reached mach 12 in QLD shock tunnel. not sure if not capable with drone body or if they are not telling it's top secret. but can find the info on company site and lots of journalist wrote stories on it....
I was a technician on the Hawk 127 and although it's been an excellent aircraft, I think we could and should have developed our own advanced trainer . Yes, it would have required considerable money but we would have gained priceless aerospace engineering/R&D knowledge and we could have potentially sold them overseas. A frontline fighter, however, is beyond our capabilities, although we have collaborated to a certain extent on several of the interceptors we have purchased.
@@davidmcclelland9263 More than anything Australia needs a powerful navy and rocket force. WW2 was won in the Pacific by the US Navy. Navies today are mobile missile platforms that attack land targets, air targets, surface and sub-surface sea targets and even orbital satellite and ICBM targets. While the days of massed armies facing each other with rifles at 100 meters aren’t gone, a powerful navy as in past wars is key to preventing them landing in places like the coasts of Papua New guinea and the Solomon Islands in the first place. A strong air force comes in at a close second.
@@nedkelly9688 That's an impressive achievement but it's a subsonic aircraft with no radar absorbing materials and it lacks all of the many systems required of a manned fighter such as a sophisticated a/c system, G control, HUD, mission computers etc. A frontline fighter is massively more complex. Look at the F-35 program. Even the U.S., with all it's resources, struggled with it. I'm an Aerospace Maintenance Engineer with many years experience on actual fighters. I've also spent most of my life studying aerospace engineering. To suggest that Australia could produce a 5th generation fighter is nonsense. Sweden has produced a 4.5 generation fighter with a massive effort but they have had 70 years of experience and are in a very different strategic position to us.
Lmao Australia was 3rd country in world to launch a satelite. Australian space companies will surpass Musk in satelite delivery. do know Australia is closer and quicker to launch satelites. Australia has it's own military satelites.... Australia hypersonics surpass USA lmao.. Elon has none..
Maybe research Ray Stalker Australian 1st to get essence of flight from scramjets. maybe research Ray Stalker hypersonic wind tunnels and study where China world fastest hypersonic wind tunnel is stolen Ray Stalker designs except they claim they modified it to make it faster.. maybe look up how many Chinese come to Australia and studied space and aeronautics under Ray Stalker at Queensland university where Australia hypersonic wind tunnel is. Australian who invented the hypersonic drone has world fastest scramjet at mach 12.. then research HIFIRE where Australia helped USA in hypersonics ever since Ray Stalker became first to get essence of flight from scramjets.. HAWC USA scramjet hypersonic missile was developed through HIFIRE and SCIFIRE joint USA, Australia hypersonics.. Why Australia now test firing HAWC missile in Australia as we speak....
Is this Boing or Australian made BOAM 😂If it’s Boing hope it’s better controlled than the USA factories ? The new 777 and findings on previous problems is a disaster!
Even if we are giving them it is a good investment and form of marketing - a successful weapon in Ukraine will sell well in world markets. The impact of this war in that regard is already substantial. The Bushmaster has already enhanced its reputation but I am looking forward to seeing how the Slinger anti-drone tech goes - if it successfully helps solve Ukraine's anti drone requirements it will get a world wide reputation overnight and sell like hotcakes.
Fine outline of the industry sector. How independent Australia really is in research and development will be seen when the US stumbles into conflict in the Pacific (see Echolon and AUKUS - or even COVID).
Not exactly independent....Now US engineer with business degrees (non US Accredited STEM degrees) are taking credit for almost more than a decade drone research done in the Australian military and etc... Old farts in the US outsource it i the 1990's.
Would Australia joining a conflict in the Pacific automatically be taken as a sign of US influence over Australia to you? As if we cannot independently choose to fight against the expansionist regional neighbour whose national ideals are opposed to ours?
@@devonlord99 "As if we cannot independently choose to fight against the expansionist regional neighbour whose national ideals are opposed to ours?" You never chose. Not when the British deserted You and the Japanese attacked Darwin nor when he US Navy became the major sea power in the Pacific in 1945 - and have overuled Your deals with France. Stop deluding Yourself with idealistic hypotheticals. The only option - as Hugh White had analyzed - was declaring neutrality in the same moment as acquiring nuclear arms - to deter not the Chinese - who are perfectly fine with continuing trade with Australia - but the US who means to maintain it's global hegemony and who would have attacked Australia as they had Iraq in 2003. Regional expansion ? Thousands of military bases...

As for the Ghostbat, great concept except that the US won’t give us the ability to arm this aerial vehicle. Now just a very expensive surveillance vehicle now.
It is not "The" Ukraine. Just Ukraine.

Already in use. Were seen in use over Canberra during Prince wingnuts recent visit.. regularly seen at height and at high speed during the later hours of a night, preferably clear of clouds and under good moonlight so that their active camouflage is useless
talking garbage lil kid lmao..active camouflage. different in civilian areas then in a war....
Hard to imagine when we have a Government that cannot see past getting re-elected - nor listen to it's people in a referendum...
fear the flying cardboard box. also didnt know australia was as invested in hypersonic's let alone one of the top developers.
lol China world fastest hypersonic wind tunnel is stolen Australian Ray Stalker technology..
Australia been helping USA in hypersonics since Ray Stalker became 1st to get essence of flight from scramjets.
All their scramjet hypersonic missiles were developed through HIFIRE and SCIFIRE joint hypersonic tests.. you can see their launches and research the tests on internet..
The Australian company with the scramjet drone has world fastest scramjet at mach 12....
The Heart ❤ Burglar 🐿
Uncrewed systems will obviously be critical in future defence of Australia given small population, difficulty recruiting and increasingly technical long leadtime training demands. With enough expenditure on uncrewed systems Australia will be able to take on much larger opponents than was previously the case.
Why Australia is ahead of everyone in AI drones.. they saw this coming long ago.. why Ghost bat was developed....
"Kinetic payload"? Does kinetic mean something other than moving, or is this just a redundant adjective?
The problem I see is that only little is strongly supported by the Australian government. Many rely on foreign investment; more get taken over and are developed by foreign countries (the US mainly); Next to nothing is produced by us and frequently we end up with no access to the technology (no sovereignty), thus it is more a sham than real Aussie development capability. These projects need to be Australian owned (or at the minimum majority Australian owned) and heavily supported by the Australian government as independent, sovereign defence projects, backed by a strong Australian industry.
Excellent presentation. Just what I was hoping the ADF was up to. Certainly better than investing in atomic submarines.
These are important, but nuclear submarines are essential. In event of war with China, they are the only system able to operate in the distant seas around and north of Indonesia, and towards the Middle East. Surface ships have a big role t5o play, but are far more vulnerable than nuclear submarines. Additionally, the nuclear submarines will be able to launch many of the missile systems. In addition to the nuclear submarine fleet, we almost certainly need to invest in a long range stealth bomber such as the B-21.
You couldn't be more wrong about nuke subs!
@ I am sure you are right, and that the world's most powerful navy's are really powerless because their nuclear submarines are useless because montys420 said so.
@artistjoh i wasn't replying to your comment, dude!🤦♂️🤣🤣🤣 i was replying to the original comment saying the investment in nuke subs was a waste, theyre essential for blocking shipping lanes! You Probably need to learn to understand how comment sections work! See how in this 1 it has an @??
@@montys420- We are 100% in agreement about the urgent need for nuclear submarines. Personally, I think that AUKUS is the best defense decision any Australian governments since the World War II decision to realign Australia with a Pacific oriented US administration.
The submarines are essential, but I think it will be the Tier Two technologies, especially drones and AI that will be the biggest benefit of AUKUS long term, especially in the second half of the century. Also, getting missile production up and running on Australian territory. But for the original commenter to suggest the submarines are unimportant is absurd. The fact that he calls them "atomic" suggests he is somewhat out of touch with modern discussions about the technologies and capabilities involved.
The submarines are likely to become even more important as surface ships become less effective than they have been in the past. I have been very pleased at the speed with which the infrastructure side of things has been developing, from training sailors, to development at HMAS Stirling. Usually Australian projects are glacially slow, but this time I see things progressing as they should.
great overview of the landscape, thanks
I hope those companies at least do the Essential Eight, now going to be a target for snooping.
Thanks. I thought most of this stuff was under wraps. Nice looking kit, every bit of it. Chinese and Russian copycats will be watching closely.
Keep in mind, this is the same military that recently said they were investing in training birds to defend against drones
If autonomous killing machines become self aware, they might just do something their human counterparts have failed to do in the history of conflict. This being getting together with the opposing autonomous killing machines and figure out who the true enemy is.
How much of this will be manufactured here in Australia for our own consumption ?
guessing none
Having been a supplier to the DSTO in the past I know that they tend to overlook Australian innovations until they are being purchased by the Americans.
So the best solution for most of these small suppliers is for them to get contracts with American companies and then the ADF and other parts of the Australian military will turn around and think that perhaps that's the signal to actually purchase these things.
The other thing is the fact that Sypac and others are supplying their products to Ukraine: it is a brilliant strategy to prove the products are ready for the modern battlespace.
I'm just happy to hear that we're embracing the idea of small, smart, and many. The old beltway bandit approach of high precision high cost low volume weapons just isn't going to work in this age of low-cost high volume smart drones and munitions. It would be a disaster if we were not thinking about ways of producing low-cost smart mass weapons.
@@stewartc4558 All of it is lol. Australia is going big in sovereign manufacturig. SCOMO set up a lot as China threat came in. all hypersonics are built in Australia. have robot painting, rocket fuels amd motors being built.
Hypersonixs i have been following for years and it is all sovereign built, even bought a special furnace to manufacture materials to handle hypersonic speeds and temperatures...
@@nedkelly9688 great if true. but where do the chips that are needed come from? What about the metals and structural elements? Very little iron ore turned tinto steel in Australia. We have no onshore fuel reserves and no way to turn what oil/gas we have into anythng now.
2:40 I have been there at the exact same spot
Great video. So happy to hear of Australian contributions. Also just FYI it's "Ukraine" not "the Ukraine". After the collapse of the Soviet Union, Ukrainians decided that it denigrated their country [by identifying it as a part of Russia] and abolished 'the' while speaking English, so now it is simply Ukraine, it was a hugely symbolic change. So these days using "the Ukraine" implies disregard for Ukrainian sovereignty as the official Ukrainian position is that "the Ukraine" is both grammatically and politically incorrect.
3:44 5 rounds 400 mm grenade launcher, on a drone ! Yeah I don't think so. Are there even 400mm grenades rounds ? I think the AI auto narration got that one wrong.
12:22 “ Plans to fly in early 2024”
Now being late 2024 did it fly?
saids will fly early 2025. it will fly but for how long is the question. the scramjet used had earlier versions that flew successfully in Australia part of HIFIRE joint USA, Australia hypersonic tests.. can follow it ind of through internet..
Hypersonixs has the world fatest scramjet at mach 12 tested in Australia Ray Stalker hypersonic wind tunnels.
The Aussie inventor of the scramjet and drone worled at NASA for few decades and all he did was design scramjets for NASA.. probably X51 is his design.. He returned to Australia as USA gave up on hypersonics ....
Glad I joined and left the army during the 80's, hopefully I won't be around for any war that involves these.
As Einstein is often quoted as saying: "I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones"
This is not something to be proud of.
It is something to be fearful of.
No matter how good our weapons are, the enemy will always have something similar or even better.
Can a young man that is defeated in the battlefield surrender to a drone ?
I noticed one chasing a young boy around a damaged vehicle in your video.
Is there room for mercy in drone warfare, given the impersonal style of combat ?
You would need an agreed protocol on how to get a surrendering person back to required location which in most cases probably isn't going to be possible given the range of drones
We need to start making a MQ28B model that has an internal weapons bay
omfg what block ii is that was anounced few moths ago of Australia accelerating it's production..
I feel that Australia's contribution to Ukraine is primarily a means to test lots of technologies, technologies it relies on to make up for a lack of man power.
Essentially, Australia relies on tech rather than humans, and because we lack enough enemies to test it against in the field, then Ukraine supplies an opportunistic "moral" situation for us to test the tech we need. You see it with UAVs, Cybertech, and drone defence.
Pretty much true, it's smart. TBH everyone is doing it in some capacity. US does it in Israel (I think they are giving legacy tech to Ukraine)
Don’t forget Australia was the mother of all drones withe Pika and then Jindivick of GAF unfortunately the Hawk Labor government in its wisdom sat completely every Australian aircraft factory like GAF CAC AAC HAWKER DE HAVILAND etc.
Mate. All these companies are listed on the ASX. Hardly secret.
I want a RC plane that resembles the switchblade Drones
Everything we have, from cardboard to hyper-sonic autonomous. lol
I wish all that energy and money went into making the world more sustainable, instead of less.
What would we do without wars?
Wow, the difference between how our (Australian) soldiers are training and equipped and this video of how things could be in the future is stark, to say the least.
It is amazing how technologies that were once in the realm of sci fi are now a reality and sad that they come about out of military necessity.
Thank God we are doing some thing good to see
Great find. Is this AI voice generated?
was waiting for this since I watched the first half😭
Why giving insights on vital military information?
Australian military info is invariably easier to obtain from American sites. Interesting to see a little from Australia. The fact is Australia seems to be so far behind the game in most areas that it’s scary. It’s like we are just beginning to wake up from decades of sleep. No successful military nations make decisions based domestic politics, the many submarine debacles have been totally humiliating
lmfao Australia is ahead of the game in many aspects lil guy..FPV drones who do you think gave the idea to Ukraine. Australia has FPV drones with fully AI, AI swarm, inbuilt radars, soft and hard kill enemy drone systsm, these are used in USA and UK military.
Australia has ai submersible drones, lots of ai vehicles, ships.
Australia ahead in hypersonics and taught USA how to develop scramjets lmfao.. Australia has world fastest scramjet...
Drone wars getting interesting. Folded cardboard model plane verses verse very expensive tanks. I bet some tank manufacturers are cursing or rubbing hands for more Tank orders.
Hahahaha. The Cope here is extraordinary. ALL of your enemies are already fielding Hypersonics THAT WORK. You have a bunch of shiny toys that underperform when shit hits the fan. Your best defensive weapon is your geography. Your worst asset is your alliances.
Make Australia Australian again.
When China is your ally, not your enemy, things will be different.
I was under the impression we don't have any money for defence.
Is not defence, it is private companies building this tech and most times selling it to foreign militaries when ours do not even get it..
The Australian hypersonic drone is in America now..
We are Lions lead by Sheep.
no way in hell id ever join the army again. this will cause a whole new level of ptsd. literally any mistake in covering up from drones (with multispectral cameras btw, infrared) will be a death sentence
They will be using them on us soon when the new mad bill passes
Australia is a world leader in hypersonic tech...😂😂😂😂
They are, this Australian company has world fastest scramjet at mach 12. China world fastest hypersonic wind tunnel is stolen Australian Ray Stalker designed free piston shock tunnels that many countries buy.. Ray Stalker was 1st to get essence of flight from scramjets.. no other country had before him.
Australian who built the hypersonic drone worked at NASA all he did was design scramjets.
USA scramjets are based off Australian designs lmgfao.
Chinese studied at University of Queensland where Ray Stalker taught and so did Australian with the world fastest scramjet.
The hypersonic wind tunnel design China stole is at the University of Queensland lmfao.. how they stole it..
All you have to do is type in HIFIRE and see Australia hypersonics programmes....
Ukraine is controlling drones over the star link system making their range as long as their fuel supply. Over 1000kms in regularly done.
Didn't we just spend all our money on some sunken boats? These things make sense for a sparsely populated country the size of Australia.
I've got a MQ Triton but it doesn't look anything like this!
00:20. The Ukraine?
@@acmelka it's been called that for hundreds of years. We may default to "Ukraine" but in older maps it was denoted as "the Ukraine" as if naming a region instead of a specific nation ... Or so the back of my resinated brain seems to recall. But I believe those in Ukraine prefer Ukraine not The Ukraine
Nothing Like Advertising to the Enemy!
One of the main benefits of advanced weapons is deterrence. Its like winning a war without having to fight it and everyone knows it - particularly Putin who is always announcing all his latest weapons as if they actually work 😂
What a great summary for those wishing to hack /steal from Aus Defence Industrial Complex. Freely presented on a plate!😂
LMFAO i been following most for years, is found freely on Australian defense sites and many other journalists on technology. these companies need funding and Australia governent does not, so they look international
Go search Hypersonixs hypersonic drone,, been public for years.. even had on their website a countdown to its first flight, taken down now though....
How bout you all build us passenger rockets to new planets instead of explosive rockets to the afterlife.
Some very scary shit here. I mean at "mach 7 " you are virtually dead in the time it takes to press the launch button. This is a far cry from being the 3Rd country to put a satellite in space.
actually the Hypersonixs company with the drone has world fastest scramjet. this scramjet has reached mach 12 in QLD shock tunnel. not sure if not capable with drone body or if they are not telling it's top secret. but can find the info on company site and lots of journalist wrote stories on it....
Can Aus build our own fighters a smaller fighters to protect this wonderful land and surround island's . Be good if we can.
I was a technician on the Hawk 127 and although it's been an excellent aircraft, I think we could and should have developed our own advanced trainer . Yes, it would have required considerable money but we would have gained priceless aerospace engineering/R&D knowledge and we could have potentially sold them overseas. A frontline fighter, however, is beyond our capabilities, although we have collaborated to a certain extent on several of the interceptors we have purchased.
@@davidmcclelland9263 More than anything Australia needs a powerful navy and rocket force. WW2 was won in the Pacific by the US Navy. Navies today are mobile missile platforms that attack land targets, air targets, surface and sub-surface sea targets and even orbital satellite and ICBM targets. While the days of massed armies facing each other with rifles at 100 meters aren’t gone, a powerful navy as in past wars is key to preventing them landing in places like the coasts of Papua New guinea and the Solomon Islands in the first place. A strong air force comes in at a close second.
Sweden did.
MQ28 Ghost Bat is built by Australia, so yes we can. Australian aviation and space is very good.
@@nedkelly9688 That's an impressive achievement but it's a subsonic aircraft with no radar absorbing materials and it lacks all of the many systems required of a manned fighter such as a sophisticated a/c system, G control, HUD, mission computers etc. A frontline fighter is massively more complex. Look at the F-35 program. Even the U.S., with all it's resources, struggled with it.
I'm an Aerospace Maintenance Engineer with many years experience on actual fighters. I've also spent most of my life studying aerospace engineering. To suggest that Australia could produce a 5th generation fighter is nonsense. Sweden has produced a 4.5 generation fighter with a massive effort but they have had 70 years of experience and are in a very different strategic position to us.

Australian Hypersonic Weapons ? Ha ha ha ha ! Good one ! LOL
Maybe research Ray Stalker Australian 1st to get essence of flight from scramjets. maybe research Ray Stalker hypersonic wind tunnels and study where China world fastest hypersonic wind tunnel is stolen Ray Stalker designs except they claim they modified it to make it faster.. maybe look up how many Chinese come to Australia and studied space and aeronautics under Ray Stalker at Queensland university where Australia hypersonic wind tunnel is.
Australian who invented the hypersonic drone has world fastest scramjet at mach 12.. then research HIFIRE where Australia helped USA in hypersonics ever since Ray Stalker became first to get essence of flight from scramjets..
HAWC USA scramjet hypersonic missile was developed through HIFIRE and SCIFIRE joint USA, Australia hypersonics..
Why Australia now test firing HAWC missile in Australia as we speak....
Why mock something you clearly have no idea about?
Is this Boing or Australian made BOAM 😂If it’s Boing hope it’s better controlled than the USA factories ? The new 777 and findings on previous problems is a disaster!
I know Anthony😂🥰🥰Understand OR !!!
I hope Ukraine is buying them and we aren’t just giving them to Ukraine.
Even if we are giving them it is a good investment and form of marketing - a successful weapon in Ukraine will sell well in world markets. The impact of this war in that regard is already substantial. The Bushmaster has already enhanced its reputation but I am looking forward to seeing how the Slinger anti-drone tech goes - if it successfully helps solve Ukraine's anti drone requirements it will get a world wide reputation overnight and sell like hotcakes.
All these Australian companies I've never heard of, who is making millions of dollars off this. Venture capitalists are loading their coffers.
Fine outline of the industry sector.
How independent Australia really is in research and development will be seen when the US stumbles into conflict in the Pacific (see Echolon and AUKUS - or even COVID).
Not exactly independent....Now US engineer with business degrees (non US Accredited STEM degrees) are taking credit for almost more than a decade drone research done in the Australian military and etc... Old farts in the US outsource it i the 1990's.
Would Australia joining a conflict in the Pacific automatically be taken as a sign of US influence over Australia to you?

Stop deluding Yourself with idealistic hypotheticals.
The only option - as Hugh White had analyzed - was declaring neutrality in the same moment as acquiring nuclear arms - to deter not the Chinese - who are perfectly fine with continuing trade with Australia - but the US who means to maintain it's global hegemony and who would have attacked Australia as they had Iraq in 2003.
