Australia and Japan have signed contracts to launch a landmark $7 billion warship deal, marking Tokyo’s most significant military export since lifting its defence restrictions in 2014. The agreement will see Japan supply advanced Mogami-class frigates to the Royal Australian Navy, with additional vessels to be built in Australia.

The deal highlights deepening defence ties between the two nations and signals a broader strategic shift as both countries strengthen security cooperation in response to rising regional tensions, particularly concerning China’s growing influence.
