Drones breach RAAF airspace for second time in a month - ABC News & Headlines – Australian Broadcasting Corporation

Repeated drone intrusions into RAAF airspace (second breach in one month) signal a gap in Australia's air sovereignty monitoring and response capability, exposing a vulnerability in perimeter defence that adversaries—including China—can exploit for ISR or as a prelude to more assertive action. The incidents underscore gaps in integrated air-defence systems and situational awareness that directly weaken Pillar 6 (Maritime Defence / air defence) and raise questions about the readiness and persistence of ADFs air-picture tools.
