Australia’s Defence Force says it’s unclear if they will be compensated over the American made jet that burst into fire while taking part in military exercises last year.
The $120 million EA-18G jet, newly delivered, presented a mechanical malfunction that forced the advanced warfare plane skid on a US runway before catching fire.
The Centre Alliance Senator Rex Patrick, says it’s extraordinary that after 18 months the Defence Department have not come to a conclusion on either replacing the aircraft or providing economical compensation to the ADF.
