leave it to CASG to outsource running their own organisation.
I wonder if there is any technology or software advanced enough to overrule the total stupidity of burying 45 Taipan helicopters in landfill rather than donating them to Ukraine.
Kym, the ADF are hopeless at providing Australia with an adequate defence force.
The US puts a lot of their used aircraft in storage at David Montham airbase in Arizona, a place where it hardly ever rains . We bury our used aircraft so as to not have any reserve capability, and to not offend any potential adversary. We are babes in the woods when it comes to defence.
Why 45 perfectly good Taipans were not warehoused rather than destroyed is totally appalling and I’m doing a lot more digging to find out exactly who is responsible for this disgrace.
Anything that takes the job of Capability, Acquisition And Sustainment away from CASG should be encouraging.
Janes now reporting that Defence have stated the Taipans are being disassembled due to no other country expressing an interest in taking them.
Finding that very hard to believe.
That’s demonstrably false – Ukraine has said they will take them. I don’t believe anything Defence says on this. It also ignores the argument in favor of putting them in storage. Anything is better than dismantling and burying $900 million worth of technologically advanced helicopters with 20 years of life remaining. It’s insane. As I have said – perhaps too subtly – if flight safety were a genuine concern they would not be replacing Taipans with Blackhawks.
It’s absolute madness buried beneath a layer of lies.
Defence has been a joke for a long time but under Marles it’s become something even worse.
I’m betting they weren’t even shopped around prior to the decision being made to cut them up.
Hoped no one would notice but now they’ve got to cover the act up with lies.
It’s obvious Defence are lying. They say the decision to scrap the fleet was made at the end of September – and now they expect us to believe that they conducted a global survey in a few weeks and concluded that no one was interested in buying them? It’s total bullshit. The cost of dismantling them will be far greater than the cost of shipping them to Ukraine. It’s a national embarrassment.
