US ready to deploy medium-range missiles in Indo-Pacific

WASHINGTON, Apr 4 : The United States intends to deploy medium-range missiles in the Indo-Pacific region in the near future, Indo-Pacific Land Forces Cmdr. Gen. Charles Flynn said.

 

Finding a way to counter China’s modernising missiles is a critical role for US ground forces, he said in an interview with the Japanese newspaper Yomiuri Shimbun.

 

 

Flynn added that he considered the orbit in which China was moving to be dangerous.

 

 

In 2023, Flynn had already announced US plans to deploy medium-range missiles in the Asia-Pacific region to potentially deter China over Taiwan. (UNI)
