      If we are to invest in weaponry, then at least it should be NLAWs. They are Swedish-British built instead of American. 

      Considering the current regime in the White House would sell us out for dictatorship points, it’s best to invest in our European allies.

      If we’re aiming for actual neutrality this is a drop in the ocean (which is still woefully undefended btw)

      they are top notch weapons. but dont get a lot of the overpriced US shit for 46 million. better going with the nlaw systems. supporting european arms trade and getting far more bang for our buck

      Awesome, delighted that our military is building to where it needs to be.

      Would prefer to see European purchases…. But otherwise good.

      As I understand it, that’s a bit less than one day of fighting, at the rate Ukraine uses them against Russia.

      Lots of interesting and needed kit on the way, I was reading some of the aircraft stuff today as it happens. Some highlights:

      * DeHaviland DHC Otter for long endurance patrol for Gardai replacing the Britten-Norman Islander.

      * New Radar with stealth capabilities being commissioned

      * Dassault Falcon 6X to replace current government jet. This will be in place in time for Ireland’s presidency of EU council. It has enough range to get to West Coast USA without refueling

      * 3rd Casa 295 replacing the two retired Casa 235 maritime patrol

      * Four Airbus H145 helicopters replacing the EC135s

      There’s loads of Mowag ground fleet and Toyota Land cruisers and several naval vessels too but I know less about those.

      Government raring to send young men to die in Ukraine.
