the Wader exercise began.

🇦🇺🇺🇸 While the Chinese and Americans are flexing their muscles in the South China Sea, military cooperation between Australian and American military personnel is increasingly developing off the coast of Australia.

First, a US Air Force F-35 squadron flew to Darwin Air Base as part of strengthening the presence of the US Armed Forces contingent and putting pressure on China. And on June 9, the Wader exercise began.

It takes place at the Cowley Beach training ground in the Coral Sea , and in addition to the Australians, American Marines take part. Nothing has been reported about the involvement of the F-35, but as they say, we won’t be surprised.

🔻Against the background of what is happening in the Asia-Pacific region, in general, such maneuvers still look insignificant. However, their number is growing every year , as is the presence of the US Armed Forces in the homeland of kangaroos .

Now there is one squadron there and the exercise is small, but in a year, when the new bases are modernized, there will be more of them. And then such events will look completely different.
