AFP - Makakabuti sa PH ang pananatili ng launcher; Amerika: Walang planong i-pullout ‘yan

2 months ago

Naniniwala ang Armed Forces of the Philippines na mas nakakabuti ang pananatili sa bansa ng missile launcher ng Amerika sa kabila ng pahayag ng China na pang-uudyok umano ito ng gulo dahil may kakayahang umabot sa katimugang bahagi ng mainland China.

00:00The Armed Forces of the Philippines believes that it is better for America's missile launcher to stay in the country,

00:09despite China's statement that it will cause chaos because it has the ability to reach the southern part of mainland China.

00:20Chino Gaston is right.

00:22On one side of the Ilocos Norte, there is a missile system of America, the Typhoon, a mid-range capability or MRC missile launcher of the U.S.

00:35It was brought to the Philippines during the U.S.-Philippine exercises in April and was not released by the Philippines.

00:42The remaining Typhoon launchers in Luzon and subsequent purchases of ships, airplanes, and other weapons of the Philippines were bought by China.

00:51China called it a source of chaos and arms race in the region.

00:56Defense Secretary Gilberto Teodoro Jr. replied.

01:00If they say there is an arms race, they are bigger.

01:04They should set an example.

01:06They should destroy their nuclear arsenal.

01:08They should remove their ballistic capability.

01:12They should destroy the Mischief Reef and other artificial islands.

01:18They should leave the West Philippine Sea.

01:21They are saying it's an arms race, but they are the first.

01:27It looks like they are separated.

01:30But why is China in charge of maintaining the Typhoon missile launcher in the country?

01:36The launcher can carry cruise missiles up to 1,600 kilometers according to Reuters.

01:44If you look at the map, the eastern part of mainland China and any part of the West Philippine Sea is within its strike range.

01:52For AFP Chief General Romeo Bronner, it is better for the country to maintain the missile launcher here.

01:59If I were given the choice, I would like to have the Typhoons here in the Philippines forever.

02:06We need that for our defense.

02:11We mentioned our intention that if possible, the Typhoons should remain here in the Philippines.

02:20And how did the U.S. response?

02:22Well, nothing yet. We're still waiting for their response.

02:26According to Reuters, according to a senior government official, the U.S. has no plans to pull out the Typhoons.

02:33Secretary Teodoro and General Bronner visited the opening of the Asian Defense and Security Expo in Pasay City

02:40where all kinds of new weapons such as smart bombs, missiles, armored vehicles, surveillance systems, and military drones are displayed.

02:49This logistics UAV can carry 50 kgs, can be used for delivery inland and on ship as well.

02:59We attuned these drones to work in the sea, maritime, and more than four nodes can fly together and work together to execute a task.

03:12It is not an arms race for the Philippines to continue buying military equipment such as fighter jets like this

03:22but to have enough capabilities to defend themselves on land, sea, or ship.

03:30For GMA Integrated News, Chino Gaston, for 24 Hours.
