US and Philippines Launch Combat Drills in Disputed South China Sea
The US and Philippine forces have recently launched their largest combat exercises in years near the disputed South China Sea, involving over 16,000 military personnel, including French and Australian forces.
These drills, known as Balikatan, focus on territorial defense and involve joint sails with the French navy, a ship-sinking drill, and scenarios near the disputed waters.
While the Philippine military emphasizes that the exercises are not directed at a specific country, they aim to demonstrate readiness to protect their territory.
