Australia’s Chief of Air Force is pushing for the nation to acquire low-cost killer drones to improve the RAAF’s defence assets as he says the nation’s current fleet of fighter jets are not enough to win in the event of a war.
Air Marshal Robert Chipman’s comments come ahead of the release of the Albanese government’s strategic defence review.

1/2 to the ukraine effort.
China and Russia are very adept at hacking. Placing complete reliance on drones might be a very bad idea. Are policies in place that tell the operators what to do if they suddenly have no control over their armed drones?
So they're pushing us to WAR…..
Oh they'll TARGET CITIZENS WHO DONT BELIEVE GOVERNMENT LIES…. just like their experimental VX
What so the government can use them against it own Australian citizens , similar to what Erdogan did to the Turkish protestors with Turkish airforce jets ?
So why are we giving away drones?
Drones are a attacking machine, who we attacking…
Make them 3d printable…
this all sounds like terminator and skynet..
Make taxpayers pay for the weapons that will kill them. BRILLIANT.
Australia needs then more than the Ukraine does Albo
GREAT IDEA, AND US KIWIS SHOULD PAY A THIRD OF THE COST!!! ID VOTE FOR THAT 👍
I agree 👍 💯 why are you people sending shit to Ukraine when our borders need war drones🙄🤔DUMB ARSE GOVERNMENT!
In these days any nation that doesn't have it's own drones, is going to be at a critical if not fatal, disadvantage against one that does.
wow clueless again skynews. what do you think Australia's Boeing MQ28 Ghost Bat is. is the most advanced drone in the world with Air to Air combat fighter capabilities and turned out so well USA now has one to test in it's syborg programme.. Australia purchased 2 and now has purchased more and total is 11 now.
Are they practicing for the future for civilians?
You'd think humanity would become more evolved as we grew as a species!
They won’t save Australia from China
if you used small drones for like sky mines or dipersers you could make them unhackable whilst stationery over water, at that moment if set to complete autonomous, and using Lazer light communication for take offs and landing, same as with the wingman drones and close range defence drones, if the Australian defence force has ethical and moral issues,, using as defense is cheaper,and any weapons for defence are more ethical than attack, using them cheaper drones makes ya a better pilot, the battlefield is intellectual more where before it was more braun
who for us?, wouldnt be surprised
Lol how weak and pathetic. Soldiers still wearing face diapers… lol auss us a lost cause. Nz too. Canada is on its way.
P.s mo r ons. The point of this war is profit and proliferation of new robot war tech. Leave it to the nszi psn sy suss governed to sop up the bs
Ask Turkey if you want low cost armed drones…
When is F-ing anal ( our new lying whinging crybaby useless pathetic pm ) going to stop spending money to bring down inflation and help the Australian's interest rate hikes
