Moments of Valor: Australia

On January 26th, 1788, the British flag was raised for the first time on the coast of Australia, marking the establishment of the first colony on the continent. Each of the colonies celebrated its own foundation day throughout the 19th century, but at the beginning of the 20th century, Australia was united. In 1935, January 26th was chosen as the date of the main national holiday.

In honor of this holiday, we’re continuing our “Moments of Valor” video series, this time dedicated to the armed forces of Australia. We’re also offering some premium vehicles in a special pack with a discount in the Gaijin store, plus some Australian camouflages that can be purchased for Golden Eagles if you have the vehicles, created by players on the War Thunder Live portal!
