During the 1960s, the Australian Army bought the Swedish 84mm Carl Gustaf rocket launchers. It was believed perfect for bunker busting. However, Sweden refused to sell us the necessary munitions because we wanted them for the Vietnam War.

If you don't own the supply chain, you don't own the weapon system.

    Not arguing that it wasn't. Perhaps we shouldn't have bought shit we couldn't use?
