Since April 11, when the United States deployed the "Typhon" intermediate-range missile system in the northern region of the Philippines, it immediately aroused strong condemnation from China and Russia. The actions of the United States have seriously affected stability and peace in the Asia-Pacific region, especially China.
At that time, "Typhon" followed the US C-17 "Globemaster" transport plane to travel more than 8,000 miles from the United States to the Philippines and entered Luzon Island in the northern Philippines for deployment.
Along with Typhon was Company C, Battalion C, 3rd Field Artillery Regiment, 1st Multidomain Task Force, U.S. Army. The unit is here to participate in the upcoming "Shield 2024" joint military exercise between the United States and the Philippines.
Regardless of whether this force will return to the United States after the exercise, the biggest threat to China is still "Typhon". This medium-range missile system can carry the Standard-6 anti-aircraft missile, the Tomahawk cruise missile, the LRSAM long-range stealth anti-ship missile, and later the United States intends to equip the Typhon with a long-range hypersonic weapon (LRHW).
Taiwan is only 400-500 kilometers from the northern part of the Philippines and 600-800 kilometers from the southeast coast of the mainland, which is completely within the range of these missiles. Therefore, once "Typhon" is activated, the mainland mainland will no longer be safe.
For such a bad behavior, the short-tempered Putin took the lead in not being able to bear it, and immediately warned the United States not to stir up trouble. After that, China and Russia successively "made things" in the backyard of the United States, preparing a big gift for the United States!
The deployment of "Typhon" will have a great impact on our military's travel and defense of homeland security
The threat posed by the deployment of Typhon is not limited to the cities on the southeastern coast of the mainland, but also the straight-line distance between Scarborough Shoal and Luzon in the South China Sea is just over 200 kilometers. With Typhon, the Philippines will be able to move more freely around Scarborough Shoal, and will no longer have to be suppressed by the mainland coast guard due to lack of firepower. In this way, even if the US military does not end up, the Philippines will have enough capital to clamoring with the mainland.
If the United States wants to restrict the entry and exit of our troops in the Pacific, "Typhon" can block our troops in the first island chain by controlling the Bass Strait. Moreover, in terms of range, as long as a war breaks out between the two sides of the strait, the US military does not need to come to support the Taiwan military at all, and the "Typhon" missiles can be launched at the Taiwan Strait at any time, blocking all warships on the mainland from Taiwan Island and prohibiting the PLA from taking the stage to complete military reunification.
"Typhon" can also launch attacks on cities on the southeast coast of the mainland at any time, causing serious losses of personnel and equipment. What's more, if the "Typhon" is really equipped with LRHW, it means that the central and southern parts of China are all within the range of the "Typhon". As you can imagine, if this is the case, it seems that it will be extremely easy for the United States to control China.
However, the "Typhon" is actually a half-baked thing, it is a land-based missile launch system improved by the US Navy's Mk-41 vertical launch system. In other words, the U.S. military loaded the Mk-41 launch box into a truck container and used a heavy tractor to tow it. Although the "Typhon" also has medium-range strike capabilities, its performance and power are not at all comparable to the newly developed medium-range missile system. But even so, we still can't underestimate it, after all, no matter how weak the performance is, it is also a medium-range system.
After the United States deployed the medium-range missile system, China and Russia made counterattacks one after another, and the United States should not be able to sleep
In this regard, China and Russia quickly launched actions. The first is Russia, whose ambassador to the United States harshly denounced the actions of the United States as a "black day" for international security. Once the United States sets a precedent for deploying intermediate-range missiles, the entire international situation will undergo earth-shaking changes in the future.
The Russian deputy foreign minister said that Russia will also retaliate against the actions of the United States, such as stopping the ban on not deploying intermediate-range missiles abroad, and the United States will bear the brunt of this wave of "welfare."
A few days ago, Russia openly announced that it would consider following the example of the United States and deploying an intermediate-range missile in Cuba. Cuba is about 200 kilometers away from the US mainland, and once Russia deploys an intermediate-range missile here, the United States will not be able to sleep all night in the future. In addition to the intermediate-range missile system, Russia and Cuba will also strengthen military cooperation in other areas, and Russia will send troops to Cuba to help them strengthen their national defense capabilities. Putin even promised that he would find a way to help Cuba reduce US sanctions so that it can develop freely.
Russia has stated that as a direct threatened object, if China does not do something, it is estimated that even the Chinese people will look down on it. A few days ago, Vice Chairman He of the Central Military Commission on the mainland held talks with a delegation of the Cuban armed forces led by General Rojo of Cuba. China has made it clear that it will not allow any external forces to interfere in Cuba's internal affairs, and that China will do its best to help Cuba with regard to the sanctions it is currently subjected to. On the military front, China will, as always, continue to provide assistance to the Cuban armed forces.
In other words, Cuba is not what it used to be, and it has the support and help of two military powers at the same time. If the United States continues to deploy weapons and equipment in the Asia-Pacific region that threaten China's homeland security, China will also strengthen its military support in Cuba and may even deploy intermediate-range missile systems.
If this is really the case, and the Chinese and Russian medium-range missile systems gather in the backyard of the United States, will the United States still be able to jump? Will it still dare to jump? If the United States intends to fight to the death and really launch an offensive against the mainland's territory, first, the mainland's air defense system is not vegetarian, and second, the US mainland does not want to be stable, and see if their "Standard-6," "Tomahawk," and LRSAM are powerful, or whether the mainland's "Dongfeng Express" is powerful!
