    From an Aussie, I always love your videos, Wes. Unlike some videos regarding the Ukraine war, there is no synthetic voice, cheesy graphics or recycling of info from previous videos. Just well-researched info from someone with lived experience regarding what they are talking about. Keep it up mate!

Texas will fit into Western Australia 3.7 times with a population of 2.7 million. The estimated population of Kangaroos in Western Australia is between 1.7 million and 5 million.

Which any kid in the area who went to catch crab knew. I have to believe we were taking the piss. Lesson is, don't dart forward, dance left n right, and your gone! Until the crunt bites your toe.

    Australia is rapidly becoming a significant military power that packs the punch of the boxing kangaroo. Kangaroos are one of only a couple of animals that cannot walk backwards, and therefore can only ever move forwards. The inability to walk backwards is the main reason the animal is used as a symbol for the country

    Why is the Kangaroo the Australian Infantry Symbol on the Regimental Hat Badge. ? Because the Kangaroo can not take a backward step !!!!! AND YES it can also kick you in the Balls

    As an Aussie I can see why we’d give Ukraine some of our hardware especially if we’re retiring it however we’re also degrading our ability to defend ourselves we don’t have the stockpiles nor the equipment to spare nor do we have the 120 day strategic reserves of fuel it’s an absolute joke

    The UK MoD could do with the Hornets, if they ever pull their finger out and fit EMALS to the x2 £4Billion Helicopter Carriers...

      Australia purchased 75 of the original Hornet A/B. 4 crashed. 25 of the last purchased/ best condition sold to Canada. 8 went into Australian displays. '38? to be disposed of'. The youngest Hornets left were 34 years old. The Typhoon Tranche 1 (26 by March, 2025) being taken out of service are younger (what is happening to the trained crews?). 2035 for the Tempest seems far in the future, and with no carrier version planned? What could be a short term move? A new squadron of EA-18G Growlers on a lend-lease basis to the UK, that can use land bases? The Australians are using mobile arrestor wires for land runways for their Super Hornets. The UK Growler pilots could get at least tail hook training and catapult training on land. (US has land based catapult). The RAF F-35B has no tail hook. Even the MQ-25 Stingray & GD Gambit 5 US drones require catapult and trap systems. The RAF drone pilots might need to be catapult and trap wire qualified one day?

    Australia was a pioneer of glide bombs back in the mid 1980s. Various guidance techniques can be used. The weapon can be dropped from any aircraft equipped with a standard 19" bomb racks, and not just military aircraft, a number of slightly modified civilian aircraft as well.

    At about 30k a pop in a $250M package there could well be many hundreds of these being sent to Ukraine... Nice.
