Australia First MQ-4C Triton on its way to Australia

[Mis_TR_Like]

The ADF is set to receive its first MQ-4C Triton maritime surveillance UAV. Costing $180 million each, they are part of a $5 billion deal which includes lifetime maintenance. The addition of the Triton will mean that the ADF's P-8 Posidens will be able to focus on their primary purpose, anti-submarine warfare.

faking expensive equipment. It cost more then a P-8, sorry but they are stealing money from taxpayers. That lifetime maintaining cost is over priced.

Well, when you own the finest piece of equipment in its class you charge whatever you like.
Cause there isn't any equivalent.

Comon, you are paying a drone with sensor more then a P-8. They are stealing taxpayers money nothing more.

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?
