The U.S. Army Pacific announced that the 3rd Multi-Domain Task Force (3rd MDTF) will deploy its "Typhon" Strategic Mid-range Fires System (SMRF) to Japan for the first time during the Resolute Dragon 25 exercise, set for September 11-25. This deployment will place the system's Tomahawk Land Attack Cruise Missiles (TLAM), with a range exceeding 1,000 miles, and SM-6 missiles, with a range of up to 300 miles, within striking distance of targets in China, North Korea, and Russia. The move has prompted responses from the Chinese and Russian Defense Ministries, urging Japan to adhere to its post-World War II "commitments to peace."
