#Firstpost Trump To Supply Javelin Missiles To Australia To Deter China | Spotlight | N18G

Australia is boosting its arsenal with the help of the US. Washington has approved a potential sale worth $97.3 million of Javelin Lightweight Command Launch Units and related equipment to Canberra. Australia seeks to buy 161 Lightweight Command Launch Units. These units are used to fire javelin missiles, designed to defeat armoured vehicles, bunkers, and even helicopters. The deal is not just a boost to Australian defence. It is also a strategic advancement for the US, which is backing its allies in the Western Pacific, a region which reels under the growing influence of China.
