- Dozens of “Ghost Shark” autonomous submarines to be produced in Australia from next year
- Co-developed by Royal Australian Navy and Anduril
- Capable of surveillance, strike missions over long distances
Surprised at how cheap these things are compared to our imaginary non-nuclear nuclear whatever we can get subs from France USA who the hell knows in 10 years 25 years whenever
Also, I wonder if they can attach a laser so we can have our Ghost Sharks with frickin’ laser beams.
I know this has come about independently from Aukus but it’s hard not to see this through that lens. In the context of all troubles and uncertainty of Aukus this pops up and leaves us all wondering not just are the Aukus subs worth the cost but will they have any tactical value at all in 25y time
we’ve known they won’t the entire time
Not just whether they’re worth the cost. Not just whether they’ll have any tactical value in 25y time.
But will we even ever get them.
And we only had to sell our soul to a kleptocratic fascist failed state to get nothing!
What a bargain!
