US Sending Drones, Radars & Coastal Defenses to Philippines

A massively strengthened and expanded US diplomatic and military alliance with the Philippines introduces critical new deterrence variables in the Pacific for US and allied efforts to contain Chinese expansion in the South China Sea and possible annexation of Taiwan.

An interesting essay from Nova.news specifies that, following his visit to Manila earlier this year, Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin said talks were underway to move "priority defensive platforms" to the Philippines.

The US will send "radars, drones, military transport aircraft, and air and coastal defense systems," Nova.news states.

The US-Philippine alliance was cited recently by Deputy Defense Secretary Kathleen Hicks who highlighted breakthrough progress in a series of US partnerships in the region.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address
