according to the latest reports from foreign media, the us land-based 'typhon' intermediate-range missile system will be deployed in japan. previously, the us-russia intermediate-range missile treaty prohibited the deployment of such weapons. after the treaty was torn up, the us began to deploy corresponding systems in many countries in europe and the asia-pacific region. the deployment of the 'typhon' system in japan enables the us to threaten the territories of russia and north korea.

typhon medium-range missile launch system launcher

the 'typhon' system is the first land-based medium-range weapon developed by the united states after its withdrawal from the inf treaty. its launcher is essentially a land-based version of the mk41 ship-borne vertical launch system. in november 2020, the pentagon signed a contract with lockheed martin to produce the 'typhon' system. russian foreign ministry spokeswoman maria zakharova said that if the united states deploys a missile system with 'medium-range capabilities' in japan, russia and china will make a 'double response', and this response will not be limited to the political level.

the typhon system can launch tomahawk cruise missiles (with a range of about 1,800 kilometers) and standard missile-6 multi-purpose missiles (currently with a range of about 500 kilometers, but future versions are expected to have a longer range). in short, it is russia that wants to "bind" us, but we have no intention of being "kidnapped".
