Former chief of army Peter Leahy says the Australian Defence Force needs an “urgent” upgrade to drone resistance technology.
Mr Leahy told Sky News host Chris Kenny that Australia doesn’t have the “capabilities” to defend against drone attacks.
“We’re seeing everyday on television, the threat.
“We just don’t have the capabilities to defend ourselves with counter-drone capabilities.
“We need to do something urgently.”

Just come off my 10th 24 hours bann for not threat to Community guidelines,yet Mainstream media literally destroy the Human Soul.
No we can't do that, we're sending 100's of millions to foreign countries instead. Wakey wakey sky news
There are too many problems in our own backyard !
🥱🥱😴😴😴
Just increase diversity, isn't that our strength?
Until such time as the Albanese ALP (Labor) socialist left government recognise that it is the current CDF and a majority of one star and above officers that are the problem, nothing will change.
These old dumb smartass suggesting for people join the Army to defend their's interests while they hide in bunkers with a fat salary. PEOPLE should protest to send politicians on battlefield not the civilians
Cant see anything really to counteract those FPV Killer Drones, except other Drones.
EMPs? Basically jammer s and electro magnetic pulses to fry electronic s? Obviously I'm not an expert
88mm rainbow dildo launchers is what is needed and more drag queens Sargent majors and captains who know how to blow the head shed
All they have to do lower medical requirements ,consider majority of Australians will use excuse if called up for service or war new age Australians too scared to fight for they're country excuses will pile in , and lower criminal records requirements adf will mentally break them to military obedience military competent like will us marines majority of Latinos an African Americans are given opportunity to serve their country instead of sitting in jail , Australia defence is a strong capable military,drones attacks adf will adjust counter to drones because drones have frequencies that can be manipulated an jammed hence why adf navy has electronic warfare , Army is basically turned into search an policing option an big strength for adf is naval an air force, electronic warfare assets should be boosted in numbers because big airforce an big navy can destroy majority of threats to its soil an abroad
And as usual, Australia's politicians are asleep at the wheel. More worried about feathering their own nests, as always.
non of it matters. aust military only exists to serve usa in its foreign wars of aggression. it serves no other purpose
The VETS are NOT looked After. The RSL Supposed to be Helping them is Run by People who have NEVER been to WAR. And Have NO IDEA or Understanding of PTSD and Other issues they have from SERVING Their Country. Its Disgusting.
Everyone knew drone toys were going to become weapons…
Now full robots with ai are being sold.
What's next .
Terminators on back order
The slinger drone killer.
The name speaks fir itself you would think
Our ADF should be 10% of the Population – it's ridiculous that our Governments think 30k ADF member can protect us – why are we paying taxes (Politician Pay Rises pfff)
No we don’t have to do anything, everything is fine. Don’t listen to the war mongers. They would get more volunteers for the armed forces if they knew they wouldn’t get sent to every shitty war that has nothing to do with us and then come home classed as a war criminal
Maybe you shouldn’t announce to the world you are unable to provide basic level national defense. 🤨 seems something that should be handled immediately and rather quietly – global audience and all.
