The Australian Department of Defence (DoD) is assessing the damage done to its fleet of Boeing P-8A Poseidon maritime multimission aircraft (MMA) following “a severe weather event” last year.
A DoD spokesperson told Janes on 13 January that a hailstorm in South Australia had affected an undisclosed number of Poseidons, and that the aircraft are being inspected to determine the extent of the damage.
“As a result of a severe weather event on 28 October 2021, a number of Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) P-8A Poseidon aircraft based at RAAF Base Edinburgh incurred impact damage from hailstones. A detailed and comprehensive inspection programme has been undertaken to assess the damage and implement repairs. [The] RAAF continues to be able to complete operational tasking and has sufficient aircraft to meet readiness requirements,” the DoD said.
