The Philippines has announced its decision to acquire the U.S. Typhon missile system, a significant move to enhance its defence capabilities amid escalating tensions in the South China Sea. Confirmed by Philippine Army Chief Lieutenant-General Roy Galido, the missile system will bolster the country's "archipelagic defence" strategy and secure maritime interests. The U.S. previously deployed the Typhon system in joint military exercises in northern Philippines, showcasing its potential role in countering regional threats. China has strongly criticized the growing U.S.-Philippines defence ties, viewing them as a direct challenge to its regional influence. Chinese Defence Minister Dong Jun has warned that such moves could destabilize regional security. However, the Philippines maintains that the missile system's purpose is solely to protect its sovereignty and is not meant to provoke conflict.
