      I had a friend in the Royal Australian Navy. He told stories of target practice competitions against the US Navy…. Australia always won by being more accurate, with less shits. Why? Because we couldn’t afford to waste ammunition, so we tended to be more careful when aiming at the targets.

      I had someone tell me in reply to a comment I made elsewhere, that Australians are nothing militarily.
      I had to reply that as a country during the Second World War its air force ended up being globally the 4th in size.
      A country that was essentially just a huge farm of 7 million people in 1939.

Servicemen know that is dishonorable to talk outside your circle of Vets unless you need help. The AIF and now ADF do not publish this unless it is unclassified. My grandfather, great uncles, wife's grandfather, etc.. in WW1 alone was one of the 215,585 casualties out of 416,809 enlisted AIF. The truth is with this survival instinct came mental instability for retuened servicemen and drunkedness and grief plagued the nation. Around 13% of eligible males volunteered. 62, 000 died 155,000 were wounded some more than once and sent back.
      Lest we forget. Remember. We must move on and not be full of bravado, Australia was a harsher country where people often went into the bush to hunt rabbits and learned to survive on very little and in a difficult terrain. People learned to depend on their mates and are still taught to do this in training. That's all it is. anzacday.org.au/selected-WW1-statistics This is a silly video.

      @caintindal1671 Why should Australia go into Ukraine if none of the EU countries who border with them are not sending there's? Our troops would come into suply difficulties. I don't think Turkey would allow RAN to pass through into the black Sea to take on Russia for one. Our troops would have to rely on supplies coming through Poland that would end up very expensive. I am very sure Australia with its gutsy well traind and experience ADF without a doubt would put Russia on the ropes and in half the time than any Ukraine soldier could. But it would end bad if we were on our own. The supplies would come in too slow. The logistics would be very expensive, and Australia would have to call for national service to bring a significant front to Russia. This would take time. And it's a bit hard to do that on the Russia doorstep. Regardless how much better traind ADF is. We are still looking at a significant amount of Aussies KIA, possibly more so than any war we have ever fought. Russia has the numbers our country can't produce. So, the ADF would have to move fast to aim for a humiliation defeat

    Australia military is actually to be larger over the next 2 decades or so with the Australian government announcement of increasing troops numbers and other personnel. The Royal Australian navy fleet size is also to triple with an order of more combating warship and nuclear powered submarines. Many of the Australian army equipment is also getting an overhaul. With the retirement of the NH90 helicopter and instead getting upgraded blackhawk helicopters. Including 27 Apache attack helicopters to add to the fleet. HIMARS And MLRS rocket. Including K9 thunder 155mm self propelled howitzer artillery tanks. New drones, some with AI assistance such as the stealth MQ 28 ghost bat unmanned fighter aircraft. Also known as the loyal wingman. New infantry fighting vehicles also will enter service in 2027, such as the K21 readback IFV, which also has SPIKE LR2 missiles to replace the M1113 IFV.
    The Royal Australian Air Force oporate a number of combat aircraft such as FA-18F super hornets, FA18 Growlers, and electronic attack aircraft, including F35A stealth fighters
    New 6th generation Air superiority aircraft is been looked at to purchase sometime in 2030s.
    Australia is in a military technology pack with the UK and USA called AUKUS. Including Australia is part of the 5 eyes Nation with security sharing. With a joint military base in Australia between the USA and Australia called pine gap. Give Australia full access to American satellites for security purposes.
    Types of missiles eqwiped on Australian warships ESSM, SM2, SM6, tomahawk cruise missile, Navel strike missiles. Known as NSM, including torpedoes.
    Land air defence NASAMS including hypersonic missiles have been developed, and other mobile anti ship weaponry
    The Australian army oporate a number of close in air defence systems and small arms with the Enhanced F88 Austeyr as the primary standard rifle for the Army produced locally in Australia. And a number of heavy machine guns.
    By the 2040s, Australia military would be the most powerful not just in Oceania but also outmatching Southeast Asia, bringing Australian military power ranking with the top 12 in global firepower.
    The Australian SAS and the cCommandoregiment are one of the worlds best special forces, equivalent to the USA Delta force and Green berate and the UK SAS.

    Our radar can see stealth. We have autonomous robots patrolling the north. We have stealth drones, and lead the would in electric counter measures. But our greatest ally will always be our climate..one minute your dying from thrust only to receive a flood. Now all the water is contaminated. 200 years and we are still trying to “settle” any community on the interior.

    if you are interested in some of the history of the Australian Forces, you may want to research Galipoli..... The troops were sent to the wrong beach-head and were ambushed as they were getting off the transport carriers but never gave up against impossible odds........ another is siege of Tobruk, Libya during World War II. the soldiers were considered as rats caught in a trap and got the nickname "The Rats of Tobruk"

    They can't be seen coming on radar, that is just one example. Every town in Australia has the old big guns from the different wars, ready to go, they can be bought back into service at a moments notice. Most are sitting in parks in every town, all over the country as memorials. If needed they are can be bought back to life very fast.

      The Malayan Emergency, also known as the Anti-British National Liberation War, (1948-1960) was a guerrilla war fought in Malaya between communist pro-independence fighters of the Malayan National Liberation Army (MNLA) and the military forces of the Federation of Malaya and Commonwealth (British Empire). The communists fought to win independence for Malaya from the British Empire and to establish a communist state, while the Malayan Federation and Commonwealth forces fought to combat communism and protect British economic and colonial interests. The term "Emergency" was used by the British to characterise the conflict in order to avoid referring to it as a war, because London-based insurers would not pay out in instances of civil wars.
      The Indonesia-Malaysia confrontation or Borneo confrontation (known as Konfrontasi in Indonesia, Malaysia and Singapore) was an armed conflict from 1963 to 1966 that stemmed from Indonesia's opposition to the creation of the state of Malaysia from the Federation of Malaya. After Indonesian president Sukarno was deposed in 1966, the dispute ended peacefully.

      Chinook Helicopter uses counter rotating blades to negate the induced spin caused by rotor torque. Usually a vertical tail rotor is used. The reason for the modification was to add more lift through the downforce of horizontal counter rotating blades so it could carry more troops and lift heavier cargos such as mountain artillery and jeeps.
      It appears to be the only American design to use it and later helicopters used for large troop and cargo carrying went back to the usual configuration but with 2 turbocharged turbines.

      Australia was founded as a penal colony after the US rebelled against Great Britain and they no longer had a place they could readily dispose of debtors or others they didn't want in the country but couldn't necessarily kill. It could be understood that the Royal Australian Navy were the first Australians to step foot on Australia to create a settlement after the indigenous. The Admiral would become Australia's first governor. Many of the early Australians were Irish, Welsh, and Scottish, but it would be easy to believe they were all poor. See the BBC miniseries, Banished.

    The Australian military is nothing compared with the likes of other countries. They can handle certain wars but most of the time they join other forces / countries. I doubt Australian forces would handle a war on their own. I don't think that they have the personnel or the equipment to go to war alone. Maybe they'll recruit some kangaroos?
