Australia's Defence Minister plans to cut some defence programs to fund modernisation of the ADF, including new missiles and drones.

Australia's Defence Minister Richard Marles plans to announce cuts to some defence programs to fund crucial areas in a modernisation plan for the Australian Defence Force (ADF). The Minister will release a new national defence strategy following a government defence strategic review in April last year, which found the ADF no longer fit for purpose. The government is expected to prioritise new missiles and drones under the modernisation plan.
