SCMP: US Navy launches live-fire missiles in ‘warning to China’
* Unusual drill in the Philippine Sea a signal to the PLA that American forces can counter advanced threats, military observers say
* Exercise designed to support ‘security and stability in the Indo-Pacific’
The US Navy was targeting China with live-fire missile tests in the Philippine Sea last week, sending a message that it was up to the challenge of the PLA’s new advanced systems, military analysts said.
In the drill in waters east of the Philippines on Thursday, the guided-missile destroyer USS Barry launched a medium-range Standard Missile-2, the US Seventh Fleet said on its Facebook page.
It was accompanied by the guided-missile cruiser USS Shiloh, which also launched an SM-2 during the drill.
Beijing-based military specialist Zhou Chenming said these kinds of drill were not common and “could be seen as a warning to the People’s Liberation Army”.
