In 1942 Australia was attacked by the forces of the Imperial Japan. Today, in 2021, how would a hypothetical war between Japan and Australia go? How strong are militaries of Australia and Japan today? Could Japan endanger Australia in the same way? Or could Australia hold its own? Watch to find out.

@@backpackpepelon3867 no body would win the Japanese couldn’t successfully control a supply line to an invading force on the coast of Australia. Result is the same if any other countries tried. Australia would sink the supply vessels forcing a surrender of the invading force, best bet would to simply bomb the coast but everything inland would be out of range. If anyone tried the same to Japan it would be the same scenario but less inland protection. Australia is simply to big for one country to invade while Japan has a advantages geographical advantage as well using the shallow waters for choke points

Australia vs China is N to the millionth power more likely than Australia vs Japan and even China won't have the ability to do something like that ever evenif their current capabilities continue to move forward at their current trajectory. Russia is interested in reasserting dominance in the regions formerly controlled by the USSR. Japan is interested in repelling the advancing regional power of China. And China is interested in becoming a true super power based on economic and military dominance by what they see as their racial superiority.

@Brett Mitchell news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/6444207.stm Short of a full alliance/mutual defense treaty like both have with the US, but in any case it's quite clear that both Japan and Australia regard the others as important partners and friends, even if there isn't a piece of paper saying "we're allies".

@АмериканецвРоссии-и4б 3 года назад

@Brett Mitchell Words have meanings. Sometimes words have different meanings to different people :-) The term "ally" isn't too precisely defined. I quote one definition (from Wikipedia): "An alliance is a relationship among people, groups, or states that have joined together for mutual benefit or to achieve some common purpose, whether or not explicit agreement has been worked out among them." In this sense, Australia and Japan are definitely allies. FWIW, Wikipedia also considers the RAA between Australia and Japan a military alliance. If Wikipedia isn't authoritative enough for you, the US government defines a number of countries as "major non-NATO allies" without necessarily having mutual defence treaties. You're using a very narrow definition and one that isn't generally accepted.

We also have the capability of obtaining our own nuclear weapons in 90 days (using the Lucas heights reactor) and our abundant Uranium as a source for the bombs. Hell, give me 90 days, a few lathes, some explosives and a heap of refined Uranium and i could build a bomb based on the 'gun type' nuclear bomb designs.

@robman2095 3 года назад

Australia’s defence strategy for the defence of the mainland is clearly to defend the air-sea gap with the air force and navy first. For example if China wanted to invade Australia we would not have to fight 2 million Chinese soldiers. We would only have to fight the number that managed to get to Australia via the air sea gap. However once they got a foothold in Australia then we would have to fight up to 2 million. That is what he meant about the army being an afterthought (which was perhaps a poor choice of words). Priority in strategy is to stop the enemy getting here in the first place. We have not yet fought a land campaign on our own soil and we don’t want to have to do that because we would only be doing that if we had lost control of our air and sea approaches, in which case the invader with essentially unlimited numbers and resources would be able to resupply indefinitely until they obtained victory.

Yes, every time I see a video I think, but how would things play out in 10 years and 20 years? In this video for example. Both Australia and Japan are in the middle of massively upgrading their military due to China's looming threat. The new proposed Australian Frigates are bigger than our destroyers and in theory sound quite capable. Likewise Australia is trying to upgrade it's submarine fleet from the 9 mediocre Collins class to 12 of the new bigger French Subs, which they went with because they wanted regional superiority over japan (Sub Briefs Channel has a really good run down of this). I can't remember off the top of my head Japans orders, but I'm sure it's a shot in the arm too. So I'd like to know, even if it was at the end of the video if much would change in 15 years or so.

Australia almost bought the latest Japanese submarines, but went for the French design instead (due to lobbying). That would be a awkward scenerio if Australia was getting delivery of Japanese subs just before this hypothetical war. Of course Japanese subs have been in Sydney Harbour - historically.

@ComaDave 3 года назад

I did all the sums a couple of weeks ago. For the same price as we're paying for these subs (AUD90 billion), we could have bought 3 Queen Elizabeth-class aircraft carriers, and a dozen off-the-shelf USN Virginia-class nukesubs...and have more than enough money left over to outfit everything, including F-35B's for the carriers. I'm probably too old to be here for whenever the next war kicks off (and it will), but just like in the 1930's...our successive complacent and myopic governments will end up costing us dearly.

@w0mblemania 3 года назад

Australia's defence policies over the last half century have been criminally stupid. The Collins Submarines have been a waste of untold billions. The F-35 is an extremely overpriced underperformer.

@danielpaterson6824 3 года назад

@@JollyOldCanuck true, if it turns into a multi-year war it would be pretty one sided. So let's add some Binkov-style restrictions and say it's only a one year conflict, no outside help, thus limiting it to currently available equipment. The Canadian and Danish airforces have a rough parity and while the Canadian Navy is larger and has subs (kinda), the Danish navy remains debatably newer and more potent (while the RCN waits for the Type 26). The question would be which is better suited for an Arctic role. The Canadian army is a lot bigger, but it wouldn't really be as big a factor in the conflict over the island. Maybe I'm making a mountain out of a molehill, but I think it would be interesting to see a Binkov deep dive into!

Australia had no satellites in this scenario because they get most of what they need through the US alliance.

Binkov does not make allowance for that because assistance from third parties is not allowed. But that just makes his analysis even more flawed and unrealistic as this satellite information would play a vital role in the outcome.
