But it makes perfetc sense the way it ets repoprted. SSN do not dveelope themselves, but need experience with pöratccially hadlöing thme, by triane crews. Many y<ears will pass by before the first Australian "Astute 2.0 AUS" gets laucnhed. Until then they need to fill the gaps in their submarine fleet. And so they buy from the ready rack of what is on offer. It reminds a bit of the Poles buying tanks and fighters and howitzer in Korea. Most of the toal volume will be build in - Poland, only ht eifrst systems will be - and already are - delivered form Korea.


Whatever. The numbers probably will shrink but the meat gets now added to the skeleton of the AUKUS idea.
