The question is: why was the AUKUS contract made in secrecy? What kind of things may be a secretive contract involves? But the fact is that this contract will strengthen the independent defense of Australia. That kind of contract always involves communication outposts and the global surveillance network stations.
The contract involved sharing technology with Australia. And that technology allows Australia to build its new nuclear-powered submarines. But what else that contract involved? Military nuclear technology is one of the most secure and secretive things in the world. And that means Australia has offered something for counter gifts. Are those things involving the new radar technology?
The AUKUS (Australia, The UK, and the USA) cooperation between the USA, Australia, and the UK is the thing that has caused discussions. Australia rejected the French-built diesel-electric submarines and started to create its nuclear submarines with the USA and UK. And that thing caused disappointment in the French and European governments. The nuclear submarines are making Australia more independent in the defense questions than ever before.
Those submarines give the Australian navy similar global strike capacity with other navies that are using those systems. Modern nuclear submarines can also carry cruise missiles like BGM-109 "Tomahawk" that can launch from torpedo tubes. And that gives those systems the ability to attack factories and military bases that are a long way from the coastline.
Nuclear submarines are the most capable systems in naval warfare and the AUKUS cooperation offers Australia a chance to get artificial intelligence-based computing. And other technical solutions that the UK and the USA are developed for their submarines. And Australia can offer their advanced radar technology as the counterplan for that cooperation.
But there is another thing that has caused discussions. That thing is the role of the USA in the conflicts between China and its neighboring areas. The thing is that the USA has many allies around the world. And the thing that frightens the USA is the new modern weapons of China. Even if the USA would win that war, there are millions or even billions of casualties if the warfare expands to a strategic thermonuclear war.
And even if the conflict remains at the conventional level. There is the possibility that the USA loses one or more of its nuclear-powered aircraft carriers. And that thing causes nuclear pollution in that area. This is the reason, why the interest of the USA is to strengthen the independent defense of its allies.
The number of equipment in the USA is limited. There is always a possibility there is a crisis at the same time in the South China Sea and Europe. That means the nuclear-powered aircraft carriers are needed in two places at the same time. And those units have a central role in the global operations.
Whenever the USA must come to help its allies there is the risk of American casualties. Of course, the USA must help its allies when they need help. Because if it doesn't make that thing. The allies will be disappointed. Those contracts between the USA and its allies involving things like the allowance to use the airbases in that area for emergency landing sites for the strategic nuclear bombers.
The support systems of the strategic bombers like escort fighters and tanker aircraft need those bases. And also the rescue crews are using those bases in the case that the strategic bombers will be dropped by technical error.
Also, those countries are established global electronic surveillance (ECHELON) and communication outposts supporting global intelligence and nuclear weapon operations of the USAF and U.S Navy. Also, the satellite data of the recon satellites is downloaded from those stations. This means that the center allies of the USA in that area need their power tools to defend themselves. Nuclear submarines are the thing that can put the challenge for China.
