The U.S. Air Force is preparing to deploy six B-52 bombers to northern Australia amid a steady build-up of U.S. military strength in the region in response to Beijing’s ongoing aggression.
Works are underway on facilities at the Tindal air base located three-and-a-half hours south of Australia’s northern-most city of Darwin.
According to the Australian Broadcasting Corporation, U.S. officials have drawn up plans for a “squadron operations facility” and a maintenance centre and parking space for six B-52 bombers. The cost is expected to reach US$100 million.
