Why do you identify only the US?

For the simple reason Australia does not buy very much from France or

I can think of are those Colins subs which weren't from Germany or France.

Would australia buy a eurofighter? Or a rafale plane?

Australia is firmly in the orbit of the US.

There's no offence intended, only pointing out the obvious.


I guess you missed the Mirage III fighters that Austrailia used to operate.
Or the Leopard tanks they STILL operate...

I see a country that buys what they wish.
