Australia ko ab sirf US se hi used nuclear-powered submarines milenge, yeh revised agreement AUKUS security pact ke tahat hai. Defence Minister Richard Marles ne Sunday ko iski announcement ki. US aur UK ke saath milkar yeh decision liya gaya hai taaki submarine acquisition process ko simplify kiya ja sake aur cost efficiency improve ho.
Teeno Virginia-class submarines US Navy ke existing stocks se hi liye jayenge, pehle plan ki tarah new aur used ka mix nahi hoga. Original 2021 AUKUS framework ke hisab se Australia ko 15 saal ke andar at least teen Virginia-class submarines milni thi, jinme do used aur ek new submarine shamil thi. Lekin ab naya arrangement hai toh sab teen hi in-service vessels honge jo US Navy ke operational stocks se directly liye jayenge.
