RAAF JSF35s fully operational just in time to meet Chinese PLAN.
Hot off the press, Beijing have committed $200million, in establishing a major fishing complex, in Daru, PNG, some 200 km due North of Australia, directly, bringing China within Australian EEZ, and may bring China in direct confrontation with the Australian Government, and military assets, and especially, its Allies, Taiwan, Japan, and particularly, the USA. A brinkmanship which has brought Australia and its Allies on a higher alert status.
The USA Indo-Pacific region military assets are on alert, as Australia also scrambles their military assets to respond to a hardheaded Chinese Food Security agenda, at the expense of regional partners EEZ.
The Daru complex is less than 65km from Australian Island Territories and well within the Australian EEZ.
In the meantime, Australia has begun their sabre rattling with the official announcement of the 3rd Squadron of 30 JSF35 are combat ready for an immediate scramble in the most imminent Naval and military confrontation with the Chinese PLAN as they continue to encroach ever so closer to Australian Territorial waters.
On 28th December, 2020, according to the Australian ABC, the Royal Australian Air Force, have announced that, as of this moment, the 3rd Squadron of 30 JSF35, after two years of trials, are now fully combat ready, the 3rd Sqd based at the Williamtown RAAF Base, is fully operational for military deployment.
Even China will view the Australian Air Force with renewed respect.
