Brandon Rickert US Army troops assigned to a European command fired the new Typhon missile system for the first time in a recent California test. The mobile system can launch Tomahawk cruise missiles and SM-6 missiles. The Army has already deployed Typhon to the Pacific, where it has drawn China's ire. Soldiers from the US Army's Multi-Domain Command in Europe have fired the Typhon missile system for the first time, a step toward potentially bringing a new long-range strike capability to the European theater. The mobile, ground-based Typhon system , which is also known as the Army's Mid-Range Capability, can fire Tomahawk cruise missiles and Standard Missile-6s , giving the service options for striking targets at greater distances.
