Australia to buy AGM-158C for F/A-18F Super Hornets
According to The Guardian in a speech on Wednesday Scott Morrison will reveal a pledge to spend $270bn on new and upgraded defence capabilities over the next decade.
Australia’s defence force is set to acquire long-range missiles and research hypersonic weapons systems, as Scott Morrison warns the country to prepare for a more dangerous post-Covid-19 world and an increasingly contested Indo-Pacific region. As part of this spending, the government is expected to commit on Wednesday to purchasing anti-ship cruise missiles from the US navy. The system, known as the AGM-158C Long Range Anti-Ship Missile, has a range of more than 370km and will initially be used on F/A-18F Super Hornet aircraft, but may also be integrated onto other defence aircraft Australia to acquire long-range missiles as PM warns of dangerous post-Covid-19 world |

Stricltly speaking it is a duplicated thread. but I agree it is surplus to requirements as the topic is being discussed in al least two other threads. Happy, the topic is being discussed and I don't mind where. Tatare's has a wider scope and Lyneham Lad also posted in the China thread where it has relevance. Happy for this one to be locked/ignored.
