AUKUS Breaks NPT's 3rd Pillar: Peaceful Use of Nuc.

Pete: Could you comment on urgency of SSN requirement, related SSK/SSN tradeoffs? Or maybe put up some links to other articles on this? Otherwise this discussion is taking place in a vacuum. Difficult things are doable in an emergency, and are impossible at other times. Over time, Australian specific modifications could be added.Īll this is determined by how urgent is the perceived need. If Biden were to authorize this, I doubt there would be much Republican resistance (less sure about Democrats).

As I recall, US shipped weapons to Israel on extremely short notice during 1973 war, and this would have had to be from US inventory. This is normally not done, but may be possible in special circumstances. This may require USN releasing some submarines already under construction. If this is due to Chinese escalations with respect to South China Sea and Taiwan (Less certain about the second) need for submarines is immanent. On the other hand, AUKUS seems to be a major national priority to all members. Production issues (as well as political need to build in Australia) raised above would normally be show stoppers to the SSN project. " Virginia, Astute and Los Angeles class SSN all use highly enriched fissile material beyond the limits of non proliferation treaty, so how can one say one is not violating at a time when we beat up on NK and Iran for enriching fissile material?

Wanting to construct SSNs in Australia would again lead to a program as humongous in price & convoluted in scope as the Attack-class SSK program, if not more so. Considering that both the Astute & Virginia-class production is currently running, it might be the most affordable way to acquire an SSN capability, both with regard to price & time. I'm guessing the official press releases are yet to come (as per what I've read on ABC).īut if RAN & Australian DoD are serious about an SSN acquisition, I personally reckon it makes the most sense to purchase 4-6 submarines directly from the US/UK. "Things seem to be getting pretty interesting again with regard to the Australian submarine program.
