Australian government turning Taipan helicopters to scrap despite Ukraine’s request

Australian Strategic Policy Institute's Malcolm Davis says the Australian government turning Taipan helicopters into scrap instead of giving them to Ukraine is a “huge, wasted opportunity”. Mr Davis told Sky News host Sharri Markson it could have assisted Ukraine's army with “battle mobility”. “To get their troops from one location to another quickly, to defend against Russian attacks. “More importantly, they could’ve been used for medevac, to save the lives of Ukrainian soldiers that have been wounded. “But instead, what we’re seeing is these helicopters being ripped apart, destroyed and buried.”
