US test-fires Tomahawk from land-based Typhon launcher in Philippines

The US conducted the first Philippines-based live test of the Army’s land-based Typhon Mid-Range Capability launcher firing a Tomahawk cruise missile in a Balikatan exercise scenario. This demonstrates deployable ground-launched long-range strike (Tomahawk/SM-6) in-theater, expanding land forces’ ability to conduct precision strikes and support ground operations across regional distances.
