    Good article regarding the pirates. Unfortunately it will take a seizure like this cruise ship to generate any uproar that leads to action. Until then, world leaders seem content to let the pirates slide for now.

    The RAAF gave up on the Raptor a while ago. Raptor is the best AA aircraft but the F-35 better suits the RAAF and in sufficient number as well. Raptor option was push by the then Opposition party (now govt).
