The Philippines will acquire by August the technology armed with the capability to verify China’s reported missile installations on Manila-claimed reefs in the South China Sea, Malacañang said Tuesday.
“It will be delivered within the year. If I’m not mistaken the month mentioned to me was August, so we are procuring that equipment and it’s coming soon,” presidential spokesperson Harry Roque said at a press briefing.
Roque did not say from which country the equipment was purchased.
US news network CNBC reported early this month that China had installed anti-ship cruise missiles and surface-to-air missile systems on its outposts in the Fiery Cross Reef, Subi Reef and Mischief Reef.
