## Resource

Australia is continuing to expand its defense industry and is increasingly relying on German technology. With a new contract worth millions, large-caliber artillery ammunition is to be produced in Queensland. However, the cooperation with the German defense company Rheinmetall goes far beyond this project: Boxer armored vehicles are already being built in Australia for the Australian and German armies, while both countries are also working together on cutting-edge drone systems. - Australien baut seine Verteidigungsindustrie weiter aus und setzt dabei zunehmend auf deutsche Technologie. Mit einem neuen Millionenvertrag soll in Queensland großkalibrige Artilleriemunition produziert werden. Die Kooperation mit dem deutschen Rüstungskonzern Rheinmetall reicht jedoch weit über dieses Projekt hinaus: Bereits heute entstehen in Australien Boxer-Panzerfahrzeuge für die australische und deutsche Armee, während beide Länder auch bei modernsten Drohnensystemen zusammenarbeiten.
