The Australian Army has test-fired its new Precision Strike Missile for the first time from a remote training base, with the defence industry minister saying the new weapon will be a powerful deterrent to potential adversaries.

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.
