An E-7A Wedgetail aircraft will be sent to the United Arab Emirates (UAE) to assist in the defence of Gulf states Iran has attacked, the PM revealed on Tuesday morning. It comes after Defence last week sent a C-17A Globemaster and a KC-30A Multi-Role Tanker Transport to support repatriation efforts.
The Australian government has expressed its concerns to the Chinese government after the altercation involving an MH-60R helicopter from Anzac Class frigate HMAS Toowoomba and a People’s Liberation Army Navy (PLAN) helicopter.
As reported in the Australian Financial Review, a “government source” said a C-17A Globemaster and a KC-30A Multi-Role Tanker Transport have been deployed to the region as part of Operation Beech. It comes as limited commercial flights have recommenced from the Gulf.
The NZ government is exploring all options for assisting New Zealanders stranded by the Iran conflict, according to Foreign Minister Winston Peters and Defence Minister Judith Collins. It comes as the Australian Defence Force has signalled it is also ready to evacuate citizens from the Gulf.
The awards acknowledge excellence across a broad cross-section of the industry, from high-performing technical, operations and communications specialists under 35 to leading reserve support and training development programs making a tangible impact nationwide.
A special taskforce has been established to assist in the evacuations, should Australian citizens within the affected countries be deemed under immediate threat.
