Largest Pacific arms race since WWII as Australia buys more U.S. weapons.

Australia is stepping up its defence game with a $7 billion deal to acquire hundreds of US-made missiles.

This arms purchase, approved by Congress, marks the largest military investment in the Pacific since World War II.

Australian Defence Industry Minister Pat Conroy stressed the importance of deterrence in a time of “strategic uncertainty.”

Striking ships

The deal includes Standard Missile 2 and Standard Missile 6, which can defend against ballistic missiles and strike enemy ships.

As tensions rise in the region, the US has already used these advanced weapons to counter threats from Iran.

Australia’s Navy is set to receive a major upgrade with these powerful long-range missiles.

It’s a clear sign that Australia is preparing for any potential future conflicts.
