The US Army deployed the mid-range missile system in the northern Philippines earlier this year for annual joint military exercises with its longtime ally, but decided to leave it there despite criticism by Beijing that it was destabilising to Asia.
“It is planned to be acquired because we see its feasibility and its functionality in our concept of archipelagic defence implementation,“ Philippine Army chief Lieutenant-General Roy Galido told a news conference.
As a rule, it takes at least two or more years for the Philippine military to acquire a new weapons system from the planning stage, Galido said, adding it was not yet budgeted for 2025.
The presence of the US missile system on Philippine soil had angered Beijing, whose forces have engaged in escalating confrontations in recent months with the Philippines over disputed reefs and waters in the South China Sea.
Chinese Defence Minister Dong Jun warned in June that the Typhon deployment was “severely damaging regional security and stability”.
