  AUSTRALIA'S next warplane, the Joint Strike Fighter, will be equipped to launch long-range missile strikes anywhere in Asia.
  
  With only one air-to-air refuel, a JSF armed with cruise missiles could hit targets as far north as Thailand and with repeated mid-air refuelling it could strike anywhere in Asia.
  
  The Government has yet to decide what cruise missile it will buy, but the most likely candidate is the joint air-to-surface standoff missile (JASSM), a 909kg, precision-strike stealth cruise missile that has a range of 400km and flies autonomously to its target after launch.

  Let's hope it'll not spark an arms race in the region. Else, we'll be spending unnecessary money for defense.......
