What's behind Australia's $1 billion defence deal with Germany?

Retrieved on: 
Tuesday, July 11, 2023

This unique deal, worth more than A$1 billion, is driven by the demands for a rapid German rearmament after the strategic shock of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

Key Points: 
  • This unique deal, worth more than A$1 billion, is driven by the demands for a rapid German rearmament after the strategic shock of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
  • Germany doesn’t have adequate military production capacity to meet its suddenly pressing new defence needs.
  • Then, if necessary, an airborne air defence fighter aircraft could be vectored to intercept the intruder.
  • With this move, Australia will now share the burden of continual air patrols in Eastern Europe made necessary by the Russian invasion.

Bringing Germany and Australia closer together

    • As part of the contract, the Australian government mandated Rheinmetall build the majority of the vehicles in Australia.
    • The new Boxers being built for Germany will be based on the Australian Army’s reconnaissance vehicle design, but given a different name: “heavy weapon carrier infantry”.
    • The Boxer deal helps to bring Germany and Australia closer at a time when Berlin is increasingly interested in Indo-Pacific defence matters.
    • And later this month, Germany will send more than 200 soldiers to participate in the
      Talisman Sabre, a large, multinational, military exercise in eastern Australia.

Why the deal matters to both countries

    • For Scholz, buying vehicles from the factory of a German arms manufacturer in Australia is more attractive than buying US-made arms.
    • Moreover, the deal would seem pivotal in ensuring Rheinmetall Defence Australia is now chosen over South Korea’s Hanwha to build 129 new Infantry Fighting Vehicles for the Australian Defence Force (ADF).
    • For Albanese, the Boxer deal is one of Australia’s largest defence export orders ever, which will create hundreds of jobs.
    • However, the deal will have some direct effects on the defence force in the short term.

Could more deals be forthcoming?

    • These deals were announced even before the NATO summit, so could there be more to come?
    • Australia is reportedly in negotiations to potentially give up to 41 old Hornet fighter jets to Ukraine.
    • Ukraine is apparently interested in the retired jets, if perhaps only to spur others into gifting it a much larger number of F-16s.
