Australia is set to shift its focus from armoured vehicle defence to a reliance on missile systems as part of its defence review.
This will mark a major change for the nation, which has traditionally invested in military armoured vehicles for defence. The new system will be equipped with cutting edge missile technology that is able to defend against incoming threats more effectively and more efficiently. The aim is to enhance the nation’s ability to repel foreign aggression while limiting costs associated with maintaining a fleet of armoured vehicles. The review will also look to other defence capabilities that Australia can take advantage of in order to further improve its defensive capacity.
