I remember in the mid '90s when the Yanks offered some KC-135s (tankers) to the RAAF.
The Indos went "nana" as it could enable Aussie Jets right into Indo territory.
Trying to think of the techy term, .... ah, it was a "Force Mulitplier".
Stuff em.
Get what ya can. Our PM (& I use that term lightly!) got rid of our security assets!
