Kecik pulakTOKYO (Reuters): Japan and the US aim to compile a joint military plan for a possible Taiwan emergency that includes deploying missiles, Japan's Kyodo news agency reported on Sunday. Under the plan expected to be complied next month, the US would deploy missile units to the Nansei Islands of Japan's southwestern Kagoshima and Okinawa prefectures, and to the Philippines, the report said, citing unnamed US and Japanese sources.
The US Marine Corps' Marine Littoral Regiment, which has High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems (HIMARS) and other weapons, will be deployed to the Nansei Islands, Kyodo said. A US unit dealing with space, cyberspace and electromagnetic waves will be stationed in the Philippines, the report said.
Agencies reported that the law provides for forgiveness of up to 10 million roubles ($95,835) of debt arrears for those signing contracts with the Defence Ministry to fight in Ukraine for at least a year, beginning on Dec. 1.
The law applies to all potential recruits who have had debt collection proceedings opened against them before Dec. 1. Russia has bolstered military recruitment by offering increasingly large payouts, in some cases of many times the average salary, to those willing to fight in Ukraine. The tactic has enabled the army to increase manpower in the conflict area, while avoiding another round of the general mobilisation that prompted a mass exodus from Russia in Sept. 2022. Central bank figures have shown that Russians assuming increasing levels of consumer debt since the Kremlin ordered tens of thousands of troops into Ukraine in 2022, even as the central bank increased its key rate to 21% in October.
