| Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited. [Regnum] The US Air Force B-1B multi-role supersonic strategic bomber was deployed to the island of Guam, the Pentagon's Indo-Pacific Command reported. According to the official statement, the American bomber was brought in "to support routine missions." The aircraft will be based on the island of Guam in the western Pacific Ocean. As Regnum reported, Washington plans to deploy medium-range missile systems in the Asia-Pacific region by 2024. A spokesman for the U.S. Army Pacific Command said “everything is on track” to achieve its goal of deploying the missiles by the end of the year. The American authorities intend to strengthen containment of China. To this end, they plan to deploy intermediate-range missiles to the Indo-Pacific region in 2024, US Army Pacific Command spokesman Rob Phillips said in December 2023. Nikkei added that Japan and the Philippines, with which the United States is developing security cooperation, are reluctant to accept new American military capabilities on their territory for fear of becoming a target for China in the event of an armed conflict in the region. Russia fears that Washington's decision to deploy medium-range missiles in the Asia-Pacific region is irreversible. This was stated by Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation Sergei Ryabkov. |

| #1 Bomber deployments to Guam are fairly regular now, and work is being done in the area to increase ramp capacity. But we're glad somebody's noticing; that's the point. Mike |
