We start off with a positive story about Australian defence technology making a difference in Ukraine – including a drone attack on a Russian Air Force Base using a product from a Melbourne company. But there’s more – Canberra-based EOS is also supplying short range air defence systems using 30mm Bushmaster cannons that will be extremely effective against airborne targets and which can be used in a land attack role as well. Cheap, rugged and deadly – so why isn’t the ADF investing in these sorts of anti-drone technologies? And a new source of information about the Hunter class frigate program in the form of the Joint Committee of Public Accounts and Audit. Defence has some serious questions to answer. Finally, we start to take a detailed look at Army’s Tiger and Taipan helicopters.
