Australia holds China’s 'belligerence' at bay with missile investments - TRT World

The Australian government has revealed its plans to develop advanced missile technology, and other guided weapons systems, to confront China’s rising military power in the Indo-Pacific region.

Canberra has deep pockets for its plans to develop military technology.

Over the next 20 years, the country will spend A$100bn (US$71.2bn) on guided weapons.

Australia’s current guided weapons technology mainly originates from the US, Israel and Europe-based manufacturers.

The brutal Korean War saw China’s intervention on behalf of North Korea, leading to nearly three million fatalities in three years.
