The fact is that if American missiles are deployed in the Asia-Pacific region, and I was once again confirmed yesterday that such missiles would be deployed, then the range of these missiles reaches the Russian Federation and touches objects of strategic nuclear deterrence, ”the TASS ambassador was quoted as saying.

In June, China opposed US plans to deploy medium-range missiles in the Asia-Pacific region.

The PRC noted that Beijing "will not sit idly by and will take all the necessary decisive retaliatory measures."

As stated in the United States, the hypersonic weapons created by the Americans will become "equalizers" for Washington in the Asia-Pacific region.
