While the subs will be powered with nuclear material, they will be armed with conventional - not nuclear - weapons.Additionally, beginning in the early 2030s and pending approval from the US Congress, the US also intends to sell Australia three Virginia class submarines, with the potential to sell up to two more if needed.Not quite. While the initial focus has been on helping Canberra get hold of a new fleet of submarines, the scope of the AUKUS partnership is broader.
The UK, US and Australia will also seek to collaborate in cyber, quantum technologies and artificial intelligence as well as other underwater capabilities - areas in which Western democracies are frantically racing their authoritarian rivals to dominate. Yes indeed. Australia cancelled a big contract to buy French conventionally-powered submarines in favour of nuclear-powered subs built with US technology.
