Australia buys HIMARS and naval attack missiles

The country’s government has allocated about 700 million US dollars to strengthen the defense potential.

Australia is investing more than one billion Australian dollars (US$684 million) in acquiring naval missiles and the HIMARS highly mobile artillery rocket system. Reuters reported this on January 5.

The Australian government has signed a contract with Kongsberg ( KOG.OL ) for Naval Strike Missile (NSM) anti-ship missiles to be used on Hobart destroyers and Anzac frigates from 2024.

In addition, the country’s authorities plan to purchase HIMARS systems, which include launchers, missiles and training missiles.

“In the current strategic environment, it is essential that the Australian Defense Force is equipped with high-tech, targeted military capabilities,” Defense Secretary Richard Marles said.

Earlier it was reported that Estonia signed an agreement on the purchase of HIMARS systems.

The US State Department has authorized the sale of HIMARS units for Lithuania
