"The Navy’s missile testing came three weeks after the President observed live-fire #Balikatan Exercises also in San Antonio, a move #China said would “seriously harm” the #Philippines. The show of capability of the #PhilippineNavy came in the face of China’s persistent incursions in the #SouthChinaSea, including parts of the #WestPhilippineSea."

ICYMI: #Philippine #soldiers got a chance to test the #Javelin anti-tank #missile system, a weapon that is not yet in the country's arsenal but could be in coming years as #military modernization focuses more on #externaldefense #Balikatan https://www.philstar.com/headlines/2023/04/14/2258740/troops-test-javelin-anti-tank-system-philippines-shops-missiles

The annual #Balikatan (ie. "shoulder to shoulder") drills will involve 17,600 military personnel and include live-fire exercises and a boat-sinking rocket assault. It is the latest display of American firepower in #Asia, warning #China of its increasingly aggressive actions.

Największe ćwiczenia filipińsko-amerykańskie od rządów Aquino III

Nowy prezydent Ferdinanda Marcosa Jr. zdecydował się na odnowienie sojuszu z Amerykanami na tle rosnących napięć z ChRL na Morzu Południowochińskim. Otworzył porty dla amerykańskiej marynarki wojennej i zwiększa wydatki na obronę, a teraz wznowione na duża skalę ćwiczenia mają podkreślić poprawę więzi z Waszyngtonem.
