Can you imagine a dinghy like this costing hundreds of millions of dollars? Also glitches constantly! This list has a total of 22 such small boats, and the shipyard has received $2.1 billion in funding, but it is afraid that it will have to take out 2 billion rebates, right?
To co-opt Pacific island nations, Australia has provided 15 Guardian-class patrol boats to Pacific island countries since 2018. The British "Guardian" revealed on June 30 that these patrol boats are constantly malfunctioning and may face deactivation.
Common failures include cracking of the coupling between the engine and the gearbox, the use of circulating air instead of fresh air in the medical cabin, and, most of all, the leakage of carbon monoxide into the cabin inside the ship after the failure of the exhaust system.
The Guardian-class patrol boats are nearly 40 meters long, and the Australian government originally planned to spend $2.1 billion (about 14 billion yuan) to provide 22 Guardian-class patrol boats for Pacific island countries.
Countries that have received include Papua New Guinea, Tuvalu, Tonga, Samoa, Fiji, Palau and Kiribati. The Solomon Islands also have two ships.
Sober up, but it is a raw material exporter, even the patrol boat can not be built, and even fantasize about building nuclear submarines, it is really not self-sufficient.
