Australia fires long-range rocket system for first time during war games with US and allies |Army

Описание: Australia's army fired for the first time on Monday (July 14) a truck-mounted long range rocket system that has become a priority for U.S. allies in the Indo-Pacific, alongside U.S. and Singapore forces firing the same system in joint war games.
Armoured trucks with HIMARS - High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems that can reach 400 km (250 miles) - are in high demand in the Ukraine conflict and are also being acquired by U.S. allies in the Indo-Pacific, including Australia, which is reshaping its forces to respond to China’s military build-up.
On the first day of Australia’s largest war games, "Talisman Sabre", the U.S., Australia, Japan, France, South Korea and Singapore held a live-fire exercise in northern Queensland involving U.S. F-35B fighter jets and land-based long-range strike rockets and missiles.
Up to 40,000 troops from 19 nations are taking part in Talisman Sabre, across thousands of kilometres from Australia's Indian Ocean territory of Christmas Island to the Coral Sea on Australia's east coast.
