    US Marines successfully test-fire new medium-range air defense system

    U.S. Marines on Guam successfully tested the Medium-Range Intercept Capability (MRIC) system during Exercise Valiant Shield, marking the Corps' first medium-range air defense system since the 1990s. The MRIC bridges the gap between the Stinger and Patriot systems, enabling rapid deployment and intercepting targets up to 43 miles away. Three MRIC batteries are planned for deployment by 2028.
