It is still an improvement on what our forces previously had.

Maybe it is time we went British, with the British working on a long range fighter with Japan and others. I wonder what their price would be. I imagine quite dear, but maybe a lot cheaper than the B21.

With AUKUS still over ten years away until we see any subs, I believe it is time to look elsewhere for some convential subs. Maybe we should return to Kockums. Their sub that is over 4000 tons, lokks like it was designed with the RAN in mind, which it probably was. Also, with the surface...

Have any further blocks been completed to this time?

When is it due to be made public? Has there been any leaks of information from it yet ? All I have seen or heard is 6 Corvettes, 3 AWD;s. Anybody know anything further?

If Japan succeeds in getting Northrop to open up a production line for F23's, could or should we join If Japan succeeds in getting Northrop to open a production line for F23's, could or should we join them?

What if our rockets and bombs had F.A.E. instead of tnt?

I thought they were to be made in Geelong.

What happens if one gets shot down or crashes in its first year of service. Do we get our money back for its life time maintenance?

Would not mind a squadron or two, of F15ex to boost our air to air fighting stocks

I have read where defence experts still expect the RAAF to be expanded. What additional aircraft should we acquire? And should we join in on the Tempest group? Should we get additional F18's, probably the E version. There is much to consider. Or do we just wait on the Defence Review?

Any news out of the defence Review on new equipment, planes or ships? We are leaving it aa bit late to be ordering stuff now.
