US bombs to be tested in Australia

I always thought they just did that in brown countries...

The United States is reportedly preparing to
test new-generation weapons, including smart bombs, on Australian territory under an agreement currently under negotiation.

Canberra and Washington were currently hammering out a new defence training agreement which included multi-million upgrades to Queensland's Shoalwater Bay facility and the Northern Territory's Bradshaw training area and the Delamere Air Weapons Range, Brisbane's Courier-Mail newspaper today revealed.

According to the report, former ANZUS treaty adviser Ross Babbage, who has just returned from defence briefings in the US, revealed that tactics and cutting-edge communications would also be tested under the proposals, bringing the two nations closer together.
