Important partnership to grow. We need all the friends we can get.

I use to watch defence train they mostly waste ammunition. Australian defence should not be a career the jobs are so pointless and boring they should be training on the front line in Ukraine. Mortars are no good in open country when modern warfare is now urban. A mobile mortar team over a position is more valuable then artillery.

This is no waste of ammunition. A waste would be if there was no intent to hit a target or no intent to record data from said event - that would be a waste. If you get results or can learn then it is never a waste. You also mention Ukraine but seem to have no idea on modern warfare. Ask any Ukrainian (or Russian for that matter) and they will tell you Mortars are key to open terrain AND urban. Combine that with good Tanks, IFVs, infantry, drones (both ISR and loitering munitions), heavy artillery, air power, air defence and you get a much closer picture of modern warfare. They all have a part to play. The war we would face here in the Pacific will have its own flavour as it will be fought over vast distances and in littoral terrain. The more training our guys get with our neighbours the better for both them and us.

Congratulations on winning your new clown 🤡 award. Feel free to pick it up at your nearest military base, Indica.

You have no clue mate. Mortars are still efrective, fighting in open terrain and trench warfares a large part of ukraine and finally, ADF has no reason to send soldiers to die in ukraine therefore they have decided to train the AFU to allow them to fight better

Yes but C.O.D. knowledge doesn't count in real life.
