Скачать или смотреть Australia’s AP-3C Orion Retires: What’s Next for RAAF Maritime Power?

After 55 years of service, the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) has retired its iconic AP-3C Orion fleet, marking the end of a legendary era in maritime patrol and surveillance. Join us as we explore the Orion’s storied history, from its Cold War missions and the search for MH370 to its critical roles in border protection, anti-submarine warfare, and regional operations across the Indo-Pacific. The final AP-3C flights took place in December 2023, with aircraft A9-657 and A9-660 bidding farewell over South Australia and Victoria. Discover how the RAAF is transitioning to the advanced Boeing P-8A Poseidon and Northrop Grumman MQ-4C Triton, aligning with the 2023 Defence Strategic Review and 2024 National Defence Strategy to bolster Australia’s maritime power. We’ll also dive into the Orion’s legacy, with preserved aircraft at the Australian War Memorial and HARS, and what the shift to modern platforms means for Australia’s defense in a rapidly changing geopolitical landscape. Don’t miss this deep dive into the end of an era and the future of RAAF maritime capabilities!
