It would be pretty interesting to know what goes down when F35 has a crack at Hobart AWD in training.

Hanwha formally launches the Redback in Australia for project Land 400 Phase 3, 11th Jan 2021

• Hanwha’s Redback is a fifth-generation Infantry Fighting Vehicle equipped with sensor technology usually found on advanced jet fighters.

• The Redback’s turret seamlessly integrates the latest in sensors, weapons and active protection systems - all designed in from the start and not added on later.

• The Redback’s rubber tracks reduce noise and vibration while offering superior ride quality for its crew and the soldiers it protects.

• The Redback features the most advanced suspension system for any armoured vehicle in the world. Dispensing with torsion bars has allowed more space for innovative and effective blast mitigation systems.

• Australian made steel from Bisalloy has been used in construction of the Redback RMA vehicles.

• Hanwha’s Team Redback encompasses a significant Australia Industry Capability package and would see the Redback built in a purpose-built facility in Greater Geelong heralding the return of large-scale vehicle manufacturing to the area.

That will be a Nary, being handed down to one of the Battalions... 8/9RAR have form for painting their rifles. Can't quite make out that helmet patch.

Yeah, the Steyr's and individual kit have me confused for second, I guess it would make sense having them in a Motorised Bn like 8/9.
