‘Stretched thin’: Australia’s Navy unable to send warship to support the US

  • Опубліковано 20 гру 2023
  • Deakin University Professor Greg Barton says the reason the Albanese government denied the US’ request for a warship could be because our Navy vessels are “stretched thin”.
    “The suspicion is that part of the calculation may be resourcing,” he told Sky News contributor Steve Price.
    “We only have three air warfare destroyers, the Hobart Class vessels I consider the best match for defending that sort of aerial threat.
    “They’re loaded up with sophisticated million dollar missiles, but firing million dollar missiles at drones possibly costing thousands of dollars is an asymmetrical disadvantage actually.
    “The fact we only have three of these vessels means sending one impacts on the duty cycle for the other two.”

    Navy stretched thin, says the incredibly weak current Australian government. Quite the opposite of the Navy’s reaction, which was an immediate “we’re ready to go” response to the US request. I wonder which one is providing the weak deceptive response?
