China's Direct Strike Threat to Australia Projected to Grow, Report States
A recent report indicates that China's capacity to execute a direct strike against Australia is expected to increase over the next decade. This projected growth is attributed to the anticipated rise in service numbers of the DF-27 intermediate-range ballistic missile and potentially conventionally armed intercontinental ballistic missiles.
China's capability to conduct a direct strike against Australia is projected to expand significantly over the coming decade. This assessment highlights an anticipated increase in the operational deployment of specific missile systems.
Key to this projected growth is the DF-27 intermediate-range ballistic missile, which is expected to see a rise in its service numbers. Furthermore, the potential expansion of conventionally armed intercontinental ballistic missiles within China's arsenal is identified as a factor contributing to this evolving threat.
According to The Hindu International, these developments suggest a growing capacity for China to strike Australia directly.
