Since Prime Minister Tony Abbott hinted that the B model F-35, the STOVL The next argument is “the B model doesn’t have the range of the A (Short Take Off and Vertical Landing) version of the Joint Strike Fighter model”.

In any event, the point of war is that it is episodic and unpredictable – we know only that RAAF’s A model JSF cannot dog fight the modern canard fitted 4th - 5th it will occur and so we need to prepare and to strategize. The lesson of generation fighters like the European Typhoon and Su-30 Flanker so it’s history is if you want peace then prepare for war and learn to expect the a moot point anyway. unexpected. And this has industrial and economic implications – in war It is worth noting though that the JSF, regardless of version, is still a we would be designing and utilising commercial and civil vessels to a supersonic stealth aircraft designed specifically to conduct strikes.

Another argument aimed at the aircraft is that “too many ISR (Intelligence, After the ‘strategic’ attack they then attack the aircraft; “it’s not common Surveillance and Reconnaissance) assets are required to fully exploit the to the land based A model the RAAF is buying”.

  • Australia-Philippines Security Cooperation: the Maritime Dimension
    Australia-Philippines Security Cooperation: The Maritime Dimension Dr. Ian Hall Griffith Asia Institute Since the start of Battle for Marawi in late May 2017, attention has tended to focus on the development of a stronger partnership between Australia and the Philippines in the areas of counter-terrorism and enhanced training for the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP).1 But in parallel, there have been significant developments in bilateral cooperation on maritime security, as the Philippines Navy (PN) acquires new assets and seeks to develop new capabilities. This paper explores the evolution of that element of the evolving defense and security partnership between Australia and the Philippines and the drivers of closer ties. It observes that not only is there a growing intensity in bilateral maritime security cooperation, but also that there has been a shift from non-traditional to more traditional, harder-edged, activities. Background The framework in which this maritime security cooperation takes place is made up of three key agreements: the 1995 Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on Cooperative Defense Activities; the Philippines-Australia Status of Visiting Forces Agreement (SOVFA), signed in 2007, which was ratified and came into force in 2012; and the 2015 Comprehensive Partnership agreement. A fourth – a logistics support agreement – was promised in the Comprehensive Partnership declaration but has not yet been agreed.2 The 1995 MoU created a Joint Defense Cooperation Committee to coordinate activities, while the 2012 SOFVA brought into being a set of legal arrangements to facilitate those activities. The 2015 Joint Declaration on Comprehensive Partnership, for its part, observed past and 1 It should also be observed, as Secretary of National Defence, Delfin N.
