The U.K. might be a silent partner in AUKUS but don’t underestimate the UK’s ability to build world class nuclear powered submarines. The Astute, and now the Dreadnoughts nuclear powered submarines that will be joining the Royal Navy in due course. The U.K. has the technical ability to build its own independent nuclear deterrent, but chose the American trident system to build that into British submarines because it was cheaper and more cost effective. Everyone talks about the Americans, like they have the monopoly on new technologies. The U.K. is a world leader in innovation.
AUKUS can choke and kill the maritime silk road instantly. It is a fatal vulnerability to China. With Taiwanese war looming, this is a very critical geopolitical pressure point that the US absolutely need.
I think the UK isn't looking out for just itself, but genuinely wants Australia to be safe. Australia Canada and New Zealand are our BFFs in the world. The UK will benefit from economies of scale. Rolls Royce will now make say 16 reactors instead of just 8 for the UK etc. The initial draft designs of the SSN (AUKUS) look pretty good. Over 9,000 tonnes. That's pretty big. Think these are knocked down versions of the new Dreadnaught Ballistic missile subs.
AUKUS serves all 3 partners. It enhances the influence of all 3 powers, unifying them to operate with stronger efficiency & power protection in their areas of responsibility. It serves to defend the sea lanes from Australia to the US across the Pacific, which are vital for Maritime shipping, trade & security. It offsets the costs of a U.S.-U.K. submarine pact in the North Atlantic, South Atlantic for NATO. It maintains the strongest links between 3 English-language nations, around the Globe to counter Chinese Naval growth & expansion. Costs for building, servicing, operating, operational flexibility & deployment programs can be discussed, modified & agreed at governmental level. In principle, it solves more problems that it raises.

@@alanharrison573 We went all out to save the Falkland Islanders, pretty sure the UK would be there for Oz. The US and UK are the ones most likely to come to Australia's aid. In the WWII is was the US that really saved Australia. The UK was sort of busy with Hitler and Mussolini
@@Music5362 Since WWI the UK has never shown any interest in defending Australia. We were a source of troops for the Empire. The UK is our ally but not unconditionally.
Why don't Australia redesign an extended Collins class submarine and make it nuclear powerd using US nuclear reactor? Australia won't get Virginia class or the ASTUTE class both US and UK are under stress building its own submarines. If Australia wants nuclear powerd submarines we going to have to design and build our own. For an interm gap Australia has no choice but purchase another countries conventional submarines my best bet Would be either south Korea KSS-3 or Spain S80 as both have long distance capability and VLS allowing tomahawk missile capability. But theirs no way Australia can purchase of the shelf nuclear powerd submarines At any time in the next 2 decades. Australia will have to build our own nuclear powerd submarine and grow an industry for it between now and 2040 so the next batch of submarines can be nuclear powerd. Australia government left it too late to require nuclear powerd submarines this time. I thought AUKUS was about sharing technology of nuclear sub technology to able help Australia require to build our own submarines not purchase their designs anyway. Can't Australia ship builders design a submarine?
Imagine the construction of cutting edge nuclear and nucular (both according to the SA Premier) submarines in South Australia. Tradie shortages, communist unions and incompetent socialist politicians. Possibly the bow (front) from Virginia and the stern (rear) from the UK. Then there's the guaranteed blowouts (not tube clearing) - which our government is really good at. What could possibly go wrong? Well done Albo!

THE GOAL is for the Royal Australian Navy to acquire a fleet of eight nuclear boats by 2040. To avoid an undersea capability gap in the late 2030s, Australia will have to focus on two areas. The RAN must recruit and train many officers and enlisted personnel in the coming years. This will require a pipeline for personnel to serve aboard US or UK nuclear boats. During the same period of about 15 years, arrangements should be worked out for delivery of a few nuclear attack boats constructed in the UK or US.
Astute are now old tech. Australia and UK will be getting the next gen subs, with lessons learned from the Dreadnaught Ballistic missile subs currently in build in the UK.
@@brettmitchell6431 I meant to say, the Astute class was designed in the 1990's. I'm sure many of the Astute class tech has been incorporated into the Dreadnaught class and then will be in to SSN AUKUS thereafter. They'll be new tech that'll go into SSN AUKUS that won't be there in the Astute class because it was designed in the 20th century.

AUKUS is a Peter Dutton plan. Albo and Co would never have thought of it or brought it to fruition. It does include many mutually beneficial things like our Hypersonic SCRAMjet which the US will help to produce here in Australia. And, there are many other mutually beneficial items being worked on including the SSN's which are mutually beneficial as Shoebridge explained.
