"Deploying Typhon missiles in regions near Russia poses a direct strategic threat to Russia, Zakharova said in comments published by the country's state-run TASS news agency. Moscow has also taken note of Japan's moves towards accelerated militarisation and cooperation with the US, the spokeswoman said. If Japan does not rethink its decision on the Typhon's deployment, Russia will have to take appropriate military-technical measures, she said."
"that the US and Japan should contribute to regional peace and stability and not undermine it with the deployment of medium-range missiles, even if only temporarily. China always opposes the United States deploying the Typhon Mid-Range Capability missile system in Asian countries, Guo said, according to the state-run Xinhua news agency. We urge Japan to take a hard look at its history of aggression, follow the path of peaceful development, act prudently in military and security areas,"
Russia and China warned that Japan's decision to allow temporary deployment of US Typhon intermediate-range missiles during upcoming joint exercises threatens regional stability. Russia called the move a destabilising step tied to Washington's push to enhance ground-based short and intermediate-range missile capabilities. Moscow said deploying Typhon missiles near Russia poses a direct strategic threat, noted Japan's accelerated militarisation and US cooperation, and warned it would take military-technical measures while holding Japan responsible for further regional degradation. China urged the US and Japan to contribute to regional peace, opposed Typhon deployment in Asian countries, and urged Japan to act prudently and avoid losing neighbours' trust.
