[Typhon has been shipped to Kadena Base in Okinawa] October 24th, according to Japan’s Kyodo News Agency reported on October 23, the Okinawa Defense Bureau of the Japanese Ministry of Defense revealed on the same day that the U.S. “Typhon” medium-range missile system previously temporarily deployed at Kanoya Air Base in Kagoshima Prefecture has arrived at the U.S. military’s Kadena Base in Okinawa Prefecture. However, regarding details such as the date of arrival and the quantity of equipment, the Okinawa Defense Bureau said, "This involves matters related to the use of the US military, and it is inconvenient to answer." The "Typhon" medium-range missile system can launch "Tomahawk" cruise missiles. It is deployed at the Kanoya Air Base in order to cooperate with joint exercises participated by Japan, the United States and other countries. It is expected to be stored at the US military Kadena Base in the future. However, this move triggered strong protests from people in many places in Japan and neighboring countries. Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Zakharova stated in September that she requested Japan to withdraw the "Typhon" medium-range missile system deployed in Japan. (CCTV International News)
