Скачать или смотреть U.S. Philippines Conducts 9th Joint Patrol in the WPS to Deter China

The 9th U.S.–Philippines joint maritime patrol matters more than the previous eight because it marks a decisive shift from symbolic cooperation to active, coordinated deterrence at the peak of Chinese coercion in the West Philippine Sea. Conducted amid record levels of harassment—water-cannon attacks, ramming attempts, laser and flare incidents, dense militia swarms, and expanded Chinese electronic warfare coverage—the patrol placed fully integrated Philippine and U.S. naval and air assets directly inside the most contested zones, including Scarborough, Ayungin, and Rozul. Unlike earlier patrols focused primarily on surveillance and reassurance, this operation fused sensors, shared real-time tracking, synchronized air-sea maneuvers, and deliberately maintained presence in pressure hotspots, signaling that the alliance is now prepared to shape, not merely observe, the battlespace. For Manila, it delivered immediate gains in maritime domain awareness, deterrence, and operational confidence while accelerating defense modernization; for Washington, it reinforced First Island Chain security, freedom of navigation, and alliance credibility; and for Beijing, it complicated gray-zone tactics by ensuring that coercion now risks an immediate, coordinated allied response. More than a routine patrol, the 9th MCA represents the emergence of a new operational rhythm—frequent, crisis-ready, and increasingly multinational—that is steadily rebalancing power in the West Philippine Sea.
