Australia is making a major leap in military aviation by replacing its Tiger Armed Reconnaissance Helicopters (ARH) with the powerful AH-64E Apache Guardian. In this video, we explore why the Australian Defence Force (ADF) chose the Apache, how it compares to the Tiger ARH, and what this upgrade means for Australia’s military capabilities. With advanced firepower, Longbow radar technology, and superior battlefield networking (Link 16), the Apache Guardian is set to revolutionize Australia’s attack helicopter fleet.The AH-64E Apache Guardian brings unmatched situational awareness, featuring the AN/APG-78 Longbow fire-control radar, which enables automatic target acquisition and engagement at extended ranges. With Hellfire missiles, Joint Air-to-Ground Missiles (JAGM), and APKWS guided rockets, the Apache is a force multiplier for the Australian Army. Its Link 16 data-sharing system allows it to integrate seamlessly with other ADF assets, improving joint operations and real-time intelligence sharing. Unlike the Tiger ARH, which suffered from high maintenance costs and poor availability rates, the Apache boasts a proven track record with a robust global supply chain and high operational readiness.This acquisition signals a major shift in Australia’s aerial combat capabilities, aligning with global allies like the U.S. Army. As Australia prepares to phase out the Tiger and bring in the Apache, this video dives deep into how this new attack helicopter will reshape Australia’s military power.🔔 Subscribe for more updates on Australian Defence, military tech, and global security!👍 Like & Share if you support this major ADF upgrade!💬 What are your thoughts on the Apache replacing the Tiger?

Australia is making its biggest investment in naval power in generations, more than doubling the surface combatant fleet. With new Hunter-class frigates, general-purpose warships, and uncrewed drone ships, the Royal Australian Navy is set to become more powerful than ever. Plus there will be increased lethality with long range strike and maritime strike upgrades such as the Tomahawk cruise missile from Raytheon, of which Australia is purchasing 200.Defence Minister and Deputy Prime Minister Richard Marles, Defence Industry Minster Pat Conroy and the Chief of Navy Vice Admiral Mark Hammond made the announcement in February 2024 and many of the capabilities that were announced have either commenced construction, narrowed down designs or been delivered, such as the first Arafura class Offshore Patrol Vessel. 🔹 What does this expansion mean for Australia’s defence strategy?🔹 How do long-range strike missiles like the Tomahawk fit in?🔹 What impact will this have on regional security?This historic move is shaping the future of naval warfare in the Indo-Pacific.

In this episode of Talking Tactics, we dive into the exciting changes following David Crisafulli’s election as the new Premier of Queensland. Crisafulli has already promised a major 100-day review of Brisbane’s Olympic venue infrastructure, which could bring some much-needed clarity—and possibly new direction—to the preparations for the Brisbane 2032 Olympic Games.With the QSAC (Queensland Sport and Athletics Centre) plan facing all but scrapped, Crisafulli's review will likely focus on three alternative options for Brisbane’s main Olympic stadium:The Gabba Redevelopment – a proposed upgrade to Brisbane's iconic stadium to meet Olympic standards.Victoria Park Stadium – a fresh stadium proposal in the heart of the city with a higher price tag but big potential.Northshore Hamilton Stadium – a new stadium concept located along the river, aiming to add a unique waterfront experience to the Olympic Games.David Crisafulli said during the election campaign that there will be "no new stadiums" built for the Olympics. Does that rule out Vic Park and Northshore Hamilton, leaving only The Gabba option on the table? There was a lot of criticism of that plan initially - will we be going back to that?Let's discuss what this new government could mean for Brisbane’s Olympic legacy.Today, we're talking tactics. #davidcrisafulli #brisbaneolympics #thegabba https://youtu.be/YRjvhiIbCeU00:00 Introduction00:43 QSAC Is Scrapped 01:06 The Three Remaining Options02:34 Could Federal Government Funding Be Reallocated to Help with the Main Stadium?04:14 An Exclusive Chat with Davidf Crisafulli 06:00 What Do I Think Is Going To Happen? 06:55 What Do YOU Think Is Going to Happen? ---Talking Tactics delivers an informed and progressive look into new world Business, Finance, Politics, Infrastructure, Defence, Technology and Current Events.
