Australia has offered its northern RAAF Tindal base to the US to strengthen military presence amid rising tensions with China. Upgrades include expanded runways for B-52 bombers, large fuel depots, and munitions bunkers. This move aligns with broader regional security efforts, including enhanced US-Australia defense ties and the AUKUS partnership. While some experts worry about the strategic implications of increased US military activity in Australia, officials emphasize the deterrent effect against China’s growing assertiveness.
