Why is Australia buying all this hardware? What are they planning to do? Should we be worried?
We're preparing for the next emu war.
>>74944568
yeah, I'm shaking, that is quite a bit of hardware, i may have just pissed my pants
Indonesia is the world's largest muslim country and is right next door to Australia
>>74944568
Preparing for the SCS cookoff, emu war 2.0, and Indonihillation.
>>74944568
We're gearing up to help you fight China in the SCS.

>those colours

Can Muslims swim?
>>74944568
Our vegimite-eating friends fear the Indonesians up north, and rightfully so. They number 225 million in population and have undertaken military action against neighbours in the past, ranging from state-sponsored terrorism (Konfrontasi, 1963-1968) to outright invasion and occupation of sovereign countries (East Timor, 1978).
Also, those jungle-islander kebabs have been known to be violent towards Christians and Buddhists. Their atrocities in East Timor killed 200000, and their ongoing repression of religious minorities has led to Christian Extremist groups popping up in Indonesia and blowing mosques up (happened in few years back)
We got Australia's back though. Five Power Defence Agreement still stands.
>>74944787
lol wtf are we ever going to do?
>>74944943
They need boats and Tones stopped them
>>74944943
this little guy couldn't
>>74944943
Not really. Indonesia has terrible force projection, with surface vessels heavily relying on air cover for safety.
>>74944787
> Fighting China
No country in the region can do that, even if everyone formed a coalition. Probably Russia or America, but none of us.
>>74944761
>victims of tribal war
>genocide
you kikes not satisfied only with the new Freeport goldmine contract aren't you? you want to hog all of papuan natural resource to youself like what you did to those dumb east timorese
>>74945043
those poor whales
>>74945174
Hey Abdul, account for 200000 dead in East Timor and UNHRC reports on TNI atrocities
>>74944568
>>74945229
oh yeah, i also heard bashar al assad gas his own people
>>74945062
Indonesia's military is mainly concerned with internal conflicts, correct?
Is Singapore worried about them at all?
>>74945174
Haha fuck off gook you guys behaved like animals in Timor
>>74945291
That seems like hideously ineffective camo.
>>74945313
Last I checked they're a whole bunch of islands amassing a large tank fleet
>>74944568
The past has taught them that waging war against their own wildlife while underestimating Its combat prowess ends in failure.
They won't make the same mistake this time. Those dreaded European carp warlords won't know what hit them.
>>74945313
>build school
>build universities
>build shipbuilding plant
>build factories
>make laws that conform their highly catholic tradition
yeah, what kind of animals can do such wasteful thing
>>74944568
australia is buying it because america is telling us to buy it in response to china, but since ur just a pleb american and exist only as a slave to the system you wouldnt know that
>>74945062
I remember Vietnam did some good shit in 1979 against china invasion.
>inb4 yes but it was 37 years ago, china is more powerful now
well, they still got btfo like the american, but just in 2 weeks, not 10 years
>>74945291
Why do their helmets have a :3 on them?
OH no. How could a country build a military capable of defending its self.
M8 wtf.
>>74945427
it's a special camo for urban smog pollution
>>74944568
literally posting all our defenses
>>74944568
To defend their Kiwi overlords from unwanted naval traffic (STOP THE BOATS)
also, why do other asean countries see indonesia as a threat instead of allies against bigger threat from the north?
A. Jobs... For migrants
B. Antagonise China.
>>74945508
>Murder 250 protestors and conduct summary executions of their leaders
>Sponsor militias that oppose their independence and encourage them to attack and murder the rural timorese population
>>74945720
You used to say you could dig from Auckland to China. Now they've all come to you.
>>74944960
God bless you Singapore.
>>74945427
>>74945673
Strelo/k/ here. It's type 07 and it's a Navy variant called Oceanic Camo.
>>74945174
Filth.
You boys ready for the inevitable peace keeping OP when West Papua vote independence?
>>74945724
Because you're the closest genocidal nation. If it wasn't you it would be China.
>>74945724
China has never been seen as less of a threat then Indonesia. Everyone knows China is worse and far more dangerous, but that doesn't mean we can afford to turn our back on Indonesia. Because Indonesia will capatalise when China inevitably causes region-wide instability.
>>74946070
The TF might actually get to do something which will be good.
>>74944568
>they fell for the Abrams meme
Should have gone with the Challenger II desu, been proven to be safer and more combat effective
>>74945174
Fuck off worst neighbour
>>74946215
We actually should have gone with the Leopard 2. Australia's geography requires speed and mobility over all other concerns.
>>74946215
>>74946262
Why would we buy muslim tanks?
>>74946262
True, I was thinking of buying tanks within the Anglosphere though, which is Historically what you guys do. And shouldn't change desu.
>>74944787
>Canada is yellow
>America is black
>>74945306
UN report by Carla de Ponte says he doesn't.
There have been at least 5 UNHRC reports confirming TNI massacres.
> Muh Pancasilla
> Muh Nusantara
Go jerk off to your ultranationalist fantasies of creating a Caliphate. Even the Dutch colonial government in Indonesia held more territory than the current Indonesian government.
>>74945313
We are worried, because we are majority Chinese. Look at the atrocities they committed against Chinese in 1997. A third of the Indonesian Chinese population fled and most settled in Singapore. Their islamic party often uses Chinese and Singapore as boogeymen for their mentally impaired voters, and they named 2 of their naval frigates after convincted terrorists who blew up a Singaporean bank 53 years ago.
If they come at us, we'll hit them with everything we've got, because we know we will be slaughtered if they win. I wouldn't be surprised if top brass authorises the use of biological weapons if we are losing.
>>74945582
Both sides claimed victory. China's offensive into Vietnam was halted, although the Chinese military today has drastically changed whereas the Vietnamese one stayed the same.
A Sino-Viet conflict today would resemble the Vietnam War, just that China would not give a single fuck about human life, unlike the Americans.
>>74945932
Shoalwater's a great place.
That picture is our entire military, I don't think you have much to be worried about.
>>74946427
Any tips for cool things to do in Singapore when I visit later this year? Stuff that won't be written about in tourist books and blogs, secret WW2 stuff even?
>>74946215
>>74946262
We got 100 or so Leopard 2A4s. The Leopard 2s we bring to EX Wallaby every year seem fairly suited for Australian terrain. The desert sand fucked with our Terrex IFVs though.
Meanwhile, Malaysia buys 48 Polish upgraded T72s in response to Singapore buying Leopard 2s, because it appeared that Poland was the only country willing to accept palm oil as payment (not kidding). Turns out Poland was selling their PT-91 Twardys away to buy Leopard 2s.
>>74946427
Your whole male population is trained to fight and Indonesians only have a track record of hurting defenceless people so Singapore should be alright in those regards.
>>74946427
>A Sino-Viet conflict today would resemble the Vietnam War, just that China would not give a single fuck about human life, unlike the Americans.
I would give everything to witness a war between two "communist" countries, where both sides don't care about human life. What a total butchery clusterfuck it would be.
>tfw you will never witness a "warhammer 40k : imperium vs orks" like war
>>74946522
The standard stuff would really be all the malls at Orchard Road, Singapore Flyer, Gardens by the Bay, Botanic Gardens, Clarke Quay, Sentosa etc.
Off the beaten track...we got the following:
> Fort Canning (ANZAC and British fortifications still intact and preserved)
> Labrador Park (ANZAC unit got wiped out there)
> Changi Prison (ANZAC, British, Indian and Chinese volunteers were detained and tortured there. Nice Australian sergeant even painted a mural on the chapel's walls)
> National Art Museum. Even if you don't like art, the architecture in there is great.
> Chinatown's nice too.
Thanks for defending Singapore 75 years ago, Australians. Even though you guys failed miserably thanks to British High Command and led to the systematic murder of 50000 Chinese males within the first 2 months of occupation, at least you guys tried.
>>74946215
ANZUS Treaty. We get endless spare parts from yanks for Abrams. Regardless of our political climate in support of wars.
With Leopards 2 (better tanks) we get Germany political sphere influencing our supply systems for spare parts.
>how is Germany going again in world politics? oh yeah thats right....
>>74946475
Have some confidence lad. I was at EX Wallaby 14 and the Australian Armour and Signal units were very professional. Almost beat us when we played OPFOR.
>>74946706
I hope so m8.
>>74946739
Second Sino-Japanese war kinda resembled that. Both sides heavily utilised suicide tactics, suicide bombing, swords and abuse of POWs. China VS Vietnam now would be equally brutal, but in HD.
>>74944568
shitposting or the emu final solution
>>74946876
Awesome, thanks man. Is it true the Woodlands WW2 tunnels have all been closed up, can you enter any of them?
We did our best, just our best wasn't near good enough haha.
>>74944568
>90% of the hardware is american made
Top cucks
>>74947122
All closed up. The only tunnels left in Woodlands are the modern military ones we're currently using. I heard they blew US$4 billion on the defensive tunnel complex there. Pretty useless if you asked me.
Greetings concerned american fellow, dont be concerned we are your no.1 ally. we just need to secure our borders in case of north korean nuke (they are in range of launching on us) and anyway the more military the better, were gonna be the next global superpower u watch. me and u country take over the world and destroy all isis blanket heads
>>74946215
There is literally nothing wrong with the Abrams aside from the gas turbine engine being a gas guzzler
>>74947165
but the biggest contract has been made with the french
top kek americucks
>>74947366
Thales?
>>74947366
Kek i like French weapon systems but that just proves aussies are bigger cucks then i thought
>>74947465
DCNS... 40B$
>>74947165
we are an ally. How is that being a cuck?
or should all white Anglo nations have national defense systems that do not support one another.
> can you NATO ?
> can you UN?
>>74944568
We must stop the boats.
>>74947487
Actually we only bought the subs.
Weapons on board are all American because we can't trust the frogs with messing with them or supplying them reliably.
>>74947521
I apologise for turning your nuclear sub into a diesel / battery faggotory.
we haven't grasp nuclear energy yet.
Aussies should go back to making their own tanks. The last one they made had a little benis on it
>>74945427
Its not camo, its so they can identify one another and be seen with very littler peripheral vision...
>>74947738
We are pretty stupid to not use nuclear energy at all kohai
>>74947697
Yes our weapons are shit
see Exocet vs. HMS or greek Mirage2000 vs. turk F-16
>>74947830
It's not about them being shit or not.
It's about France being an unreliable partner. If we are at war, we want to be supplied with torpedoes, not being blocked because some French cuck of a President decides he doesn't like something about us.
China claims on the south.
>>74945427
It was green before, they used cheap Chinese washing powder
>>74947923
But you are part of the cucks gang so you don't have to worry.
>>74944568
They're preparing for the second round of the Emu War.
>>74946427
The powers-that-be would never let singapore be attacked. Its too big a trading hub for all of asia, particularly its oil markets.
China and america (on behalf of s korea and japan) as well as australia would get involved just to keep the oil markets running
>>74948226
The great war of our time
>>74944568
It is the future of the elite retreat while the rest of the world to the war zone
>>74944568
Weaponized shitposting
>>74948253
We have a treaty with them I think.
I'm not sure attacking Singapore makes any sense for anyone desu. Unless someone wants to block the straits for some reason.
It would be like the 6-day war. They would invade the south of Malaysia. The Singapore army is ridiculously well trained and equipped.
>>74947751
Thats the barracuda
