The Defence Force has reportedly begun dismantling its grounded fleet of Army MRH-90 Taipan helicopters.
According to the ‘Asia Pacific Defence Reporter’ (APDR), the decision was signed off in secret to destroy them rather than try to sell them.
The publication suggests some expensive components such as gear boxes are being sold to New Zealand.
The dismantling process is expected to take several months, before parts are buried in what’s been dubbed ‘a large defence landfill site.’
Defence Minister Richard Marles said on Friday: “We are looking at all the options available for maximising the value which sits within the Taipan fleet”.

Going to Heaven is easy!
First, you must realize that the punishment for committing even one sin, unless you are forgiven, is eternity in hell. To be saved from hell and forgiven of all sin, believe that the Son of God, Jesus Christ, died on the cross for your sins, was buried, and rose again (1 Cor 15:1-4). When you believe that Christ’s atoning work paid for all your sins and when you make Jesus your only hope of going to Heaven, you are forgiven of all sin by God and forever saved from hell. Warning: None of our good deeds can get us into Heaven. If we trust in our own works to get us to Heaven instead of Christ’s atonement, we will not be allowed in. The Bible says “Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost” (Titus 3:5). In conclusion, just believe that all your sins are paid for by Jesus’ atoning work and make Christ your only hope of going to Heaven.
“For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly.” Romans 5:6
This clown who wrote that original story has a lot to answer for. It’s utter bullshit.
If we ever had to go to war we would be screwed… “oh can this wait for another 20 years? Our submarines aren’t ready yet and it wouldn’t be fair since all our air craft have been sold for scrap”
Will the dismantling occur mid flight like normal?
So does Australia have any defence now??
These politicians need to be investigated.
"Labor dismantles Australia's Defence capabilities in the face of the Chinese threat".……..there, fixed it for you.
Keating, Andrews, McGowan and Albanese.
Australias Philby, Burgess, Maclean and Blunt
But their Self Dismantling. 😆
staging crashes to increase budgets & upgrades
Like our sovereignty🎉
To place the dismantled parts in landfill seems rather stupid when one considers the scrap value. But, then again we have a stupid socialist Defence Minister coupled with a stupid, shirt-lifting, woke CDF.
no replacement?
Traitorous grubberment.
Why they opted for these aircraft's in the first place is beyond me.
The UH 60 is the best jet on offer it's multi role capabilities is quite impressive.
Sikorsky is a way better brand.
If it ain't broke don't fix it.
Our defence force is a joke, while politicians get wealthier
How F'n Dumb can these Moron Get .. this Helio is operating in Other Nations .. what Solutions have they Found or is it Defense Under Labor is too dumb to work the problems with this Helio but just want to Destroy any means of Operational capacity .. What helios are used on our Destroyers / Frigates
At least the F-35 Lighting II's can still fly, as long as it isn't raining, as they malfunction in wet weather.
They were supposed to be takin out about 11 yrs ago and NOW 4 soldiers are dead and others were injured , where TF does our $$ go ?
what are we defending – we were already conquered by immigrants😢
Jesus H Christ, they are actually quoting Kym's drivel !! What has the world come too !!
Lol, the equipment itself had started well ahead of time..😂
Hey America…first question, can we please buy some of your hyper expensive military equipment & tech please?
Second question, why does Israel sell all of your military technology to China? And at such a discount?
Is that the new working definition of 'our greatest Allie?'
Isn't most of a helicopter recyclable?
All of metal items can either be sold? If not for reuse, hey can be crushed, shredded and/or melted and recycled
Standardized items like landing gear, engines, windshields, seats, and maybe hydraulics should have ready market
The kick backs must be huge
Can they no be fixed? Why was a more reliable design not purchased? Is it the design or quality of construction in wuestion? How much money hs been wasted?
So someone back then decided to go with tigers and mh90 instead of combat proven apaches and blackhawks, wow, just unbelievable.
Australian Political figures seem quite dumb.
