Australia will spend 6.7 billion euros to strengthen its navy. The Australian navy intends to acquire eleven new frigates but also a type of marine drone, which does not require crews to operate.
The government plans to build eleven frigates, three destroyers, as well as six ships that can potentially be ordered without a crew. At the same time, the Australian navy will considerably strengthen its missile capabilities, in particular by equipping some of its ships with long-range Tomahawk missiles.
