VS test grondgestuurde Typhon-raket op 630 kilometer afstand

The United States conducted its first operational Typhon ground-based missile system firing from the Philippines on May 6, 2026, successfully launching a Tomahawk missile to strike a target 391 miles away. The system, mounted on a mobile trailer, represents a strategic shift toward land-based strike capabilities in the Pacific, reducing reliance on naval and air platforms in contested maritime regions. This deployment demonstrates how distributed ground forces can project precision power across island chains while complicating adversary targeting strategies.
