Australia continues to "entertain" with options for the development of the submarine fleet

Due to the fact that the entry of the first Virginia submarines into service (if it happens at all) is expected sometime in the early 2030s, the possibility of refitting Collins submarines for the use of Tomahawk missile launchers is being discussed. Australia continues to "make fun"...

The boats are no longer very new, besides unsuccessful in design. Spending even very large sums on their rearmament does not seem too reasonable. These boats were problematic even at the tender and design stage. Already at the conclusion of the contract, there were well-founded accusations of bias and corruption, since the tender was won by a not-too-well-known Swedish firm, leaving behind famous competitors from Germany, France, England, etc.

During the construction process, scandals also periodically occurred during the assembly of buildings and installation of equipment. Immediately after the start of operation, it turned out that the boats are very noisy and technical reliability is at a low level. Very serious and expensive alterations were required. Then there were considerable expenses when arming these submarines with American Harpoon missile defense systems.

And now, the Australians are determined to spend a considerable amount of money on the conversion of these boats, especially since they themselves do not need submarines with CRBD. The US needs them to create additional problems for China. Since the Tomahawks will be able to fly to China from areas located north of Australia. But why are Australians doing this?..

Чего можно ожидать в зоне СВО (и вообще, вокруг Украины). IMHO.
