00:00The U.S. is testing military equipment in Japan, which could reach targets in the Taiwan Strait.
00:06U.S. Marines test-fired HIMARS rocket launcher systems near Mount Fuji on Wednesday.
00:11The drills focus on shoot-and-scoot tactics, in which soldiers fire rockets then redeploy to new locations to avoid
00:19counterattacks and drones.
00:20HIMARS systems have a potential range of hundreds of miles, meaning that unit stations in Okinawa could reach targets in
00:28the East China Sea and Taiwan Strait.
00:30This comes after Japan recently sent troops for the first time to participate in joint U.S. military drills in
00:37the Philippines.
