The HIMARS launchers were recently bought from the United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cToday was the first time the Australian Army has live-fired our long-range, multi-domain platforms being the HIMARS, so it is a remarkable day,\u201d Brig. Nick Wilson told reporters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Talisman Sabre began in 2005 as a biennial joint exercise between the United States and Australia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This year, more than 35,000 military personnel from 19 nations, including Canada, Fiji, France, Germany, India, Indonesia, Japan, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Papua New Guinea, the Philippines, South Korea, Singapore, Thailand, Tonga and the United Kingdom, will take part over three weeks, Australia\u2019s defense department said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Malaysia and Vietnam are also attending as observers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The exercise will also take place in Papua New Guinea, Australia\u2019s nearest neighbor. It is the first time Talisman Sabre activities have been held outside Australia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"6963\" height=\"4642\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/AP25195157155801.jpg.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-119918\" srcset=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/AP25195157155801.jpg.jpg 6963w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/AP25195157155801.jpg.jpg?resize=300,200 300w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/AP25195157155801.jpg.jpg?resize=768,512 768w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/AP25195157155801.jpg.jpg?resize=1024,683 1024w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/AP25195157155801.jpg.jpg?resize=1536,1024 1536w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/AP25195157155801.jpg.jpg?resize=2048,1365 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 6963px) 100vw, 6963px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">South Korean soldiers fire from a K1 tank during Exercise Talisman Sabre 2025 at Shoalwater Bay Training Area on Monday. (Rick Rycroft\/AP)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Chinese surveillance ships have monitored naval exercises off the Australian coast during the last four Talisman Sabre exercises and were expected to surveil the current exercise, Defense Industry Minister Pat Conroy said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe Chinese military have observed these exercises since 2017. It\u2019d be very unusual for them not to observe it,\u201d Conroy said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe\u2019ll adjust accordingly. We\u2019ll obviously observe their activities and monitor their presence around Australia, but we\u2019ll also adjust how we conduct those exercises,\u201d Conroy added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Conroy said the Chinese were not yet shadowing ships as of Sunday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The exercise officially started on Sunday with a ceremony in Sydney attended by Deputy Commanding General of U.S. Army Pacific Lt. Gen. J.B. Vowell and Australia\u2019s Chief of Joint Operations Vice Adm. Justin Jones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The exercise, showcasing Australia\u2019s defense alliance with the United States, started a day after Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese began a six-day visit to China, where he is expected to hold his fourth face-to-face meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping in Beijing on Tuesday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Albanese said Chinese surveillance of Talisman Sabre would not be an issue raised with Xi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThat would be nothing unusual. That has happened in the past and I\u2019ll continue to assert Australia\u2019s national interest, as I do,\u201d Albanese told reporters in Shanghai on Monday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Albanese also noted that while he had visited the United States as prime minister five times, he had only been to China twice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Australian leader has been criticized at home for failing to secure a face-to-face meeting with U.S. President <a href=\"https:\/\/www.militarytimes.com\/news\/pentagon-congress\/2025\/07\/14\/trump-threatens-russia-with-tariffs-and-boosts-us-weapons-for-ukraine\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"\" title=\"https:\/\/www.militarytimes.com\/news\/pentagon-congress\/2025\/07\/14\/trump-threatens-russia-with-tariffs-and-boosts-us-weapons-for-ukraine\/\">Donald Trump<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI look forward to a constructive engagement with President Trump. We have had three constructive phone conversations,\u201d Albanese said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The event began with live-fire exercises, including Australia\u2019s first
