The US military's Mid-Range Capability, or Typhon, missile system was deployed to the Philippines in April, drawing frustration from China over its presence in the region.
Characterized as a landmark deployment, the Typhon system marks a significant milestone, enhancing interoperability, readiness, and defense capabilities in coordination with the Philippines, according to US Army Pacific.
China has repeatedly criticized the deployment of the US Mid-Range system in the Indo-Pacific, claiming the situation became very dramatic during discussions with Philippine Foreign Secretary.
While the Typhon missile system was not fired during the joint exercise in the Philippines, its deployment emphasizes the US's commitment to filling gaps in its defense arsenal.
