Mid-Range.

This is coolbert:

Consideration to me this a revelation. Advanced missile systems US Army. 

System apparently fast-tracked and now deployable. Mid-Range Capability [MRC].

fast-track: "verb - to speed up the processing, production, or construction of in order to meet a goal"

"The Mid-Range Capability missile has landed in Luzon, Philippines, as part of the Salaknib exercise taking place there, marking the first deployment of the new capability deemed vital for the U.S. Army’s strategy in the region."

SM-6 and Tomahawk! Normally missiles only in the inventory of the US Navy. Not ordinarily and regularly part and parcel of US Army inventory. Until now! SM-6 evidently now can be used in the surface-to-surface mode of attack! Tomahawk missiles probably of the land-attack version.

2. "Philippines Says US Mid-range Missile System To Be Pulled Out"

https://www.barrons.com        By AFP - Agence France Presse        July 4, 2024

"A US mid-range missile system deployed in the Philippines for annual joint military exercises -- to the annoyance of China -- will be pulled out of the country, a Philippine Army spokesman said Thursday."

The mere presence of the Mid-Range system a source of irritation and aggravation to the Chinese? You can reasonably infer then this missile apparatus seen as a significant danger? If the Chinese do not like it then MRC must be good?

YES, fear the reaper!

P-800 Oniks.

This is coolbert:

"'Onyx missiles are designed to destroy watercraft, and ships, it flies at a speed of 3000 km per hour [about 1,800 MPH], that is, very fast,... On the march [cruising], it can rise high, and when entering the target, it can actually fly 10–15 meters [about a dozen yards] above the water to destroy the ship.'" - Yurii Ihnat.

"U.S. Alarmed by Potential Russian Supply of P-800 Oniks Cruise Missiles to Houthi Rebels"

"Signs indicating that Russia will provide the P-800 'Oniks' anti-ship missiles to the Houthi group are already apparent, according to senior U.S. security officials cited by the Middle East Eye portal."

From https://defencesecurityasia.com | By Admin | Jul 3, 2024.

The Russian P-800 Oniks = P-800 Yakhont in the export version. 

"(DEFENCE SECURITY ASIA) — Senior U.S. officials are increasingly concerned that Russian President Vladimir Putin may supply P-800 'Oniks' anti-ship cruise missiles to the Houthi armed group in Yemen."

CRUISE MISSILE ANTI-SHIP WEAPONRY FROM RUSSIA TO YEMEN WITH LOVE?

According to the Ukrainian no possible defense against  P-800 Oniks! As determined from bitter experience.

Hootie Tootie got the power? If so, this represents a possible MARKED escalation the blockade and attacks on commercial and naval vessels both the Red Sea.
