Philippines, US test air defenses during war games
US and Filipino forces conduct their first integrated defense drills in the northern Philippines, hours after China said it had seized control of a reef claimed by Manila.
In coastal Zambales province, hours north of the capital Manila, US Marine Corp's new MADIS short-range air defense system knocked drones from the sky.

00:26So
00:56Thank you very much.
01:26We are very glad and fortunate to participate in this
01:38CAID and very good collaboration and interoperability with U.S. counterparts.
01:47I just want to say thank you to the people of the Philippines and to the armed forces
01:51of the Philippines for being such gracious hosts and giving us the opportunity to train
01:55shoulder to shoulder with them.
01:56This type of training is absolutely invaluable to us to be able to get out here to operate
02:00with our treaty ally and to be able to set up a defense like this and integrate all of
02:04our systems is just remarkable and we're really grateful for the opportunity.
02:08Today we're defending the coastline here.
02:10Again, F-850s flew out simulating cruise missiles, so the frigate engaged the cruise missiles.
02:17They turned around and started coming towards the shoreline, which Spider then integrated.
02:23And then we started flying drones against Mattis in defense of Spider.
02:29So as both the Marine Corps and the Armed Forces of the Philippines seek to modernize for peer
02:34competition, there's absolutely a complementary approach to this.
02:38So Mattis is short-range, Spider is more of a medium-range capability.
02:43They both engage different threats and the more we work together, they only seek to enhance
02:47our collective lethality.
02:49This is the first time we've used Mattis, so my formation was the first unit in the Marine
02:55Corps to receive Mattis.
02:56We just received it in December of last year and we rapidly transitioned to get it out here
03:01to support Valkyrie.
