  1. DW got almost everything in this report wrong. At least you had an aussie on to correct some of it. AUKUS is a wide reaching security pact, it is NOT a sub deal. 3 subs will be purchased from yankville in 2030. But on subs the three nations are working together to research, design and build a new class of sub called AUKUS that all 3 nations will build and deploy in 2040. The UK and yankville will bring their subs to Australian ports and serve with Australians to patrol Australian waters until 2040. But as I said AUKUS isn't just subs, it's a military pact. Australia will be sharing it's hypersonics knowledge with the UK and yankville for example so all 3 can try to catch China. There is greater integration between all 3 militaries. There's collaboration on weapons systems, weapons platforms, aerial defences, intelligence gathering, all kinds of stuff. AUKUS is far reaching. It's better to think of AUKUS as a strategic extention of 5 eyes. Partner nations to AUKUS are a possibility, but their full membership to the pact has already been ruled out.
