The pair discuss: The Australian Defence Force's MH90 Taipan helicopter fleet at career's end, with a recent fatal crash during Exercise Talisman Sabre and previous struggles with a number of technical issues. The United States Department of Defence reports detailing close encounters, release of flares, and dangerous manoeuvrers of People' Liberation Army fighter jets near US reconnaissance aircraft over international waters. Australia's launch of repatriation flights in the Middle East as conflict continues between Hamas and Israel. The Royal Australian Air Force C-130J Hercules and C-17A Globemaster heavy transport aircraft have both been deployed.
