Their least expensive and quickest bet is to have US Navy boats (and possibly even RN boats) stationed permanently in Australia. And put out a new global tender for an ocean-capable SSK. Their best bet is going to be the Japanese, for a Taigei Class type boat. The Japanese are building them quite r...

Then why cook up this gruyère cheese of a story now? What are they trying to cover up now?

this was unexpected. I was hoping for Navy to say Rafale is better. By saying both are good and govt chooses Rafale, BIF with SC will cry corruption.

Ukr desperately wants Russia to escalate, so that NATO in turn can escalate. That is the core of it.
