I suspect India is the only credible threat to Oz and at the rate India's
economy is growing they could just buy as much desert as they want.


India lacks the ability to Invade, India lacks any wish to invade and India
has plenty of problems much closer to home, they don't need to go further
afield to find problems.

The Hindi must always be prepared for war with Islam.

Careful, the answer will be (from L'xxxxx) They lack the ships (just like
Japan) :-)


Welcome to reality you sad sycophantic idiot.

India does lack the shipping to invade Aust, just as Japan lacked it in WW2.

Feel free to try to argue your point here, do you have the balls?

They already have that with Pakistan and its clients.

Hi all

I have just heard on the radio that Australia is to scrap its fleet
of F111's...


By 2010



Not surprising really they did cost quite a bit to run.



Not really, the replacement will be JSF and it will require a very
large tanker fleet to give the same strike range and warload capacity.

F111s were superb aricraft but they became a political bun fight.
Unlike all other aircraft F111 could opperate alone: No Jamming
support, No AWACS, no fighter escort and no takers required.

Very good bang for the buck.



Cheers
John Cook

Have you looked into the mix of religions local to Oz? You know, those
islands north of you.

They would be the islands thats population have no ability to project power
and are a mix of races and religious factions determined to fight each other
would they?

Why would India want to develop a force specifically to go attacking Muslims
that are not near India (when they have so many close to home) and how would
this lunatic goal be promoted by India attacking Australia?

Unless it is opposed, then it isn't coming home.

Very good bang for the buck.


Until you compare it to cruise missiles.

That require no AWACS, no fighter escort, no tankers, no flight crew, little
operational training costs, far less infrastructure and might actually be
used in combat.

Yes, those same island Islamists that murdered predominantly Hindis and
aussie citizens in bombings. The Hindi did not think the bombers were
trying to kill Americans, as the Aussies have somehow concluded

Perhaps Indian military planners play Risk.

Indians have attempted to have such a discussion here at ram before.

Hardly an ability to project power is it?

Oh dear, we are off into Tarverland.

So, you believe that India will invade Australia in an effort to stop
Muslims killing Hindus in Indonesia?

Thats pretty credible.

But not anyone from the Indian defence ministry.

BTW, could you provide a link to these Indians who felt that invading Aust
was the solution to their Islamic problems...
