"Targeting the Straits." 🚀US Marines have deployed the autonomous NMESIS anti-ship system to the Batanes islands, just south of Taiwan. A major test of sea denial during Balikatan 2026. On May 2, 2026, the 3rd Marine Littoral Regiment demonstrated its ability to project power into the Luzon Strait. Using C-130 transport planes, the U.S. and Philippine forces successfully forward-positioned the NMESIS coastal missile system in Basco, Batanes. We feature an exclusive interview with Staff Sergeant Darren Gibbs and analysis of how this "missile arc" aims to deter naval aggression in the Indo-Pacific.
