The JMOD sees the C-2 potentially conducting stand-off strikes against high-value targets such as military bases and missile launch sites, according to the The Japan Times quoting JMOD sources. The report says that Y3.6 billion ($25.4 million) has been budgeted in the 2023 financial year – which runs to 31 March 2024 – to explore the use of the C-2 for strike missions. Cirium fleets data indicates that the Japan Air Self-Defense Force has 18 C-2s. Of these, 16 are listed as serving the transport mission. One is used for experimental work, and another, designated RC-2, serves as an electronic intelligence aircraft. fleets data indicates that the Japan Air Self-Defense Force has 18 C-2s.

The Australian Government will ensure Australia starts manufacturing Guided Multiple Launch Rocket System (GMLRS) missiles from 2025, following the signing of a $37.4 million contract between Defence and Lockheed Martin Australia. The contract will enable an initial batch of GMLRS missiles to be manufactured in Australia, which is an important first step towards establishing domestic missile manufacturing on a larger scale. It will facilitate the transfer of technical data from the United States, establish processes for engineering certification, and begin to build the technical skills of an Australian workforce. The Australian Government will also acquire Precision Strike Missiles (PrSM). Both PrSM, which can engage targets out to 500km, and GMLRS can be fired from HIMARS launchers. #military #defense #defence #militaryleak https://lnkd.in/gdEJbKxW

Exciting news that KONGSBERG has signed a contract with the United States Air Force for Joint Strike Missiles (JSM) for their F-35 aircraft with deliveries commencing in 2026! The Joint Strike Missile (JSM) is an air-launched strike missile and is designed to fit into the internal weapons bay and to fulfill complex missions, such as Anti-surface Warfare (ASuW) and land attack. The primary targets are typically highly defended and high-value assets on sea, in coastal waters or on land. JSM has an off-board, on-board and in-flight mission planning capability and can engage targets based on a pre-defined set of Rules-of-Engagement.

https://lnkd.in/e_J9t3ps I often think cultural factors are just as big a contributor to defence planning as threat analysis. Deep Strike was deliberately de-prioritised in the 1998 Strategic Defence Review, in the belief that with the end of the Cold War the U.K. would become an expeditionary “force for good”. Two decades of counter-insurgency stopped us from effectively reviewing that decision, and despite Ukraine we still don’t discuss high-end war fighting quite as seriously as we did in the 1980s.

Senior Security Correspondent at Asia Times, Assistant Lecturer, and Ph.D. student at People's Friendship University of Russia.
Today in Asia Times, I wrote about Australia's strategic move to revive its long-range strike capabilities by testing US hypersonic missiles. The Royal Australian Air Force will test-launch the US Hypersonic Attack Cruise Missile (HACM) from its F/A-18F Super Hornets at Australia's Woomera Test Range. This initiative, a part of the deepening US-Australia defense collaboration under the AUKUS agreement, aims to enhance both nations' air-launched hypersonic capabilities, crucial for future high-end conflicts. Australia's Defense Strategic Review 2023 also underscores the importance of long-range strike capabilities within its anti-access/area denial strategy. With long-range strikes being integral to deterring adversaries, this development marks a significant shift since the retirement of the F-111 in 2010. Despite challenges like cost, limited firepower, and dependence on the US for ISR capabilities, this collaboration signifies Australia's commitment to modernizing its defense against emerging threats.

The missile strike on Odessa has the properties of a terror attack by targeting the civilian infrastructure and conducting a follow-up second strike to increase casualties among civilians and emergency service members. Odessa lacks the air defense capable of intercepting Iskander ballistic missiles. Sadly, the Allies still fail to provide the ABM-capable systems in sufficient numbers to cover the airspace around major cities. Formally, Ukraine can ask the USA to share documentation on HIBEX or Sprint-II ABMs, since the Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty is no longer valid. Of course, the main issue is the radar part of any system. For Sprint missiles this part is a stationary pyramid-shaped phased array. On the other hand, these designs were state-of-the-art in the 1960s. Modern counterparts are more nimble, for sure. As for the cost... One Iskander ballistic missile is estimated to be worth 3 MLN USD. One SAMP-T missile costs 2-3 MLN USD. The Sprint missile is in the same price category.
