Umm.. why are you quoting purchases made almost a 1/2 century ago in the
1960s?

Mirage III purchases are old hat.

You snipped the earlier reference to the Airbus tanker, which last I knew
was a European product. ISTR the Australian Army also bought their latest
rifles from Europe, along with their new Tiger attack helicopters. What does
all of that add up to? Anything but some kind of US monopoly in terms of
Aussie defense procurement.
