The highly anticipated combined joint littoral live fire exercise between the Armed Forces of the Philippines and the United States Armed Forces finally happened in San Antonio, Zambales on Wednesday, April 26, as part of the main event of the Exercise Balikatan 2023.
The rocket fires were aimed at BRP Pangasinan, which was positioned at 12 nautical miles from the shoreline of San Antonio, near the West Philippine Sea . The former Philippine Navy corvette, which was decommissioned in 2021, represented an enemy force approaching the Philippine territory by sea. However, the first shot missed the target since the vessel “is drifting so it was not in the correct location,” a US military personnel announced. The first shot was located at approximately six to nine meters away from the vessel while the five other shots hit different points.A second set of HIMARS rockets were then prepared for firing as the CIFEC calculated the new position of BRP Pangasinan.
Once the interloper was escorted out of the operational area, the second volley of HIMARS rockets were fired and the exercise went smoothly.
