The United States is a country that pours astronomical costs to reduce even a single unit of damage to its forces. Therefore, when attacking an enemy, they first launch long-range attacks to destroy the enemy’s defensive power before deploying their troops, typically using air-to-surface, surface-to-surface, and ship-to-ship missiles. The most representative weapon and cruise missile that signifies the start of a full-scale war by the U.S. military is the BGM-109 Tomahawk missile.

Just as the name Tomahawk is borrowed from the axe used by the Native Americans, this weapon can ‘axe’ the facilities of any enemy country, making it a subject of fear. Recently, the U.S. has sold these weapons in large quantities to Australia, which is expected to trigger a strong backlash from China once again. What could be the reason why the U.S. supplies such weapons to Australia?

Pays About 900 Million Dollars
A Sale for the Benefit of the U.S.

Australia plans to purchase 220 Tomahawk missiles from the U.S., with a total cost of $895 million, equivalent to approximately 1.1691 trillion Korean won. This price includes not only the cost of purchasing the weapons but also the services of maintaining the missiles, training, and software and hardware support programs.

The United States is believed to have a clear understanding of the defense significance that Australia holds in the Indo-Pacific region. Consequently, it is speculated that the U.S. has sold its key weapons to Australia to provide extensive support and prevent China’s maritime influence from extending beyond the Indian Ocean into the African region.

The U.S. Recently Sold Nuclear Submarines as Well
Australian Military Becoming Fully Armed with U.S. Weapons


The United States has significantly elevated the capabilities of the Australian Navy by even selling Virginia-class nuclear-powered attack submarines, a key asset, to Australia. However, this move has encountered substantial opposition from China.

As a result, the Australian military, in acquiring the U.S. nuclear-powered submarines—a capability not possessed by any other nation worldwide—finds itself burdened with the obligation to align with the United States in the extensive conflict with China.
