Back to EpisodesAustralia Weighs Gulf Defense Request: Wedgetail Eye in the Sky
Description
Australia weighs sending top surveillance plane to defend Gulf nations against Iranian threats. Foreign Minister Penny Wong confirms consideration of defensive support, excluding offensive actions or ground troops. The Wedgetail, a world-class airspace management tool, is a prime candidate due to its long-range radar and communications capabilities. Other options include navy air warfare destroyers or P-eight-A Poseidon patrol planes, but ships would take weeks to reach the region.
