Russian Foreign Ministry: In response to the deployment of the Typhon battery, Japan will receive compensatory measures

Due to the presence of the Typhon ground-based missile system battery at the base of the US Armed Forces in Japan, Russia retains the right to take compensatory measures to ensure its security. This was announced today, October 31, by the Russian Foreign Ministry.

Today, a strong protest was made to the Japanese Embassy in Moscow in connection with the Joint Exercise 2025 exercises held from October 20 to 31, which covered, among other things, areas of the island of Hokkaido in geographical proximity to the Russian Federation.

"In this context, concern was expressed about the fact that the Iwakuni, stationed at the base of the US Armed Forces, has not yet been removed from the Japanese archipelago as part of the Japanese-American Resolute Dragon 25 exercises (September 11-25), the Typhon ground-based battery, designed to launch, including medium- and shorter-range missiles. In this regard, it was noted that the Russian Federation reserves the right to take the necessary compensatory measures in order to ensure the proper level of its security," the message published on the website of the Russian Foreign Ministry said.

As EADaily reported, during the visit of US President Donald Trump to Japan, the new Prime Minister of Japan, Sanae Takaichi, announced the government's decision that Tokyo would not be able to refuse to purchase Russian LNG, asking the American leader to show understanding.
