US thinks to place Typhon systems in Japan: which "surprises" are expected on the Russian Federation and China

In their material of August 14, the Army Recognition, the importance of such a step in the context of Moscow's territorial claims. This perspective, writes, has become of particular importance after Japan's Land Defense Forces visited the US military base in Washington, which was shown the Typhon system. The visit has caused rumors about the possible deployment of this system in the Indo-Pacific region, which can significantly change the strategic landscape there.

The Typhon MRC missile system is designed to perform high-ranges and contains components such as Tomahawk's winged rocket and Standard Missile 6 (SM-6). It is capable of running rockets at a distance of 500-2900 kilometers (310 to 1800 miles), which makes it an important element of the strategic fire restraint of the US Army. Thus, Typhon is capable of filling the operational gap between low -range missiles and hypersonic weapons, which is still under development.

The system can also integrate into multi -dominant operational groups, providing operational flexibility and the ability to strike high -precision strikes on critical enemy objects. This makes it especially valuable in the conditions of growing tension in the Asia-Pacific region, where China and North Korea are becoming more aggressive.

The authors of the material claim that the potential deployment of the Typhon system in Japan, especially in Okinawa, poses a serious threat to key military facilities of China and DPRK, which, in fact, may be at a distance of impact. Already, China has been criticized in connection with the temporary placement of the Typhon system in the Philippines during recent joint military exercises.

This indicates that the further deployment of the Typhon system in the region can further exacerbate the situation, leading to an increase in military activity and increased arms. "The US and Philippine actions have placed the entire region under American artillery fire, brought huge military risks to the region, had a serious impact on the regional security structure and undermined regional peace and stability," said a representative of the Chinese Defense Ministry to Qian.

Russian analysts also carefully monitor the possible deployment of Typhon system in Japan, especially in the context of a lasting territorial dispute between Russia and Japan against Kuril Islands. The possibility of placing American missile systems in the Far East is of serious concern in Moscow, as it can force Russia to take similar steps, which will destabilize the situation in the region.

Thus, at the end of July, Minister of Foreign Affairs Sergey Lavrov stated that Washington was "brazen" promoting strategic weapons and bringing elements of nuclear restraint to the militarization of Southeast Asia and Asia-Pacific. Experts eventually warn that the deployment of systems similar to Typhon MRC, especially with the possibility of using double -use missiles, capable of carrying both nuclear and conventional warheads, increases the risk of unintentional escalation.
