Australia Boosts Defence Spending on Uncrewed Systems and Missile Defence
Australia's latest defence spending plan puts a bold focus on game-changing tech, prioritizing uncrewed systems, advanced missile defence, and strike weapons to stay ahead of emerging threats. This strategic shift signals a new era in defence strategy, tackling the complexities of modern warfare head-on.

“The #Khorramshahr #missile, #Iran’s most advanced ballistic missile, is believed to be capable of carrying a cluster #warhead dispersing up to 80 submunitions.
Since that post, it has come to loom large in Israeli threat assessments, a persistent concern for a country equipped with a multi-layered missile defence system that is widely regarded as the world’s most sophisticated.”
“Since the start of the war, Iran’s cluster munitions – which disperse dozens of bomblets mid-air – have tested Israel’s #HighlyAdvanced, multi-tier #MissileDefence network, including Iron Dome, which is designed to counter threats across ranges, altitudes and speeds, exposing gaps that interception alone has struggled to close.”

The First Casualty
They told you Iran's missiles were being swatted from the sky. They told you the Iron Dome was holding, the Patriot batteries were working, US and Israeli air power was surgical and winning. They told you this on the ABC. They told you this on Sky. They were telling you nonsense. MIT Professor Ted Postol — the man who proved the Patriot missile failed in the Gulf War while presidents were claiming a 97 percent success rate — has now established that current intercept rates against Iranian missiles run at a few percent at most. The systems are depleting. The decoys are multiplying. The official story is, in his own carefully chosen word, a fraud. The first casualty of war is truth. But the deeper insight, the one Phillip Knightley identified fifty years ago, is that the lies are not random. They serve purposes. And right now, they are serving purposes that Australians have every right to examine.
