Russia Slams Japanese Drills with US, Australia, Says US Typhon Missile Systems Pose Threat Russia's latest criticism of Japanese military drills with the US and Australia stems from the deployment of U. S.
Typhon missile launchers, which Moscow claims pose a threat to its national security. The upcoming "Orient Shield" exercises involve 3,700 personnel from the three countries and have raised concerns in Russia.
At the heart of Russia's complaint is a broader concern about regional stability and the increasing military presence in Asia.
