MANILA (Reuters) - The United States escorting Philippine vessels during resupply missions in the South China Sea is a "reasonable option", the head of the U.S. Indo-Pacific Command said on Tuesday.

Such option, however, is subject to consultation between the two countries, U.S. Indo-Pacific Command commander Samuel Paparo told reporters on the sidelines of a military forum in Manila.

Russia's invasion of Ukraine has pushed U.S. thinking toward a new philosophy - "affordable mass," as one missile industry CEO put it, speaking on condition of anonymity, referring to having plenty of relatively cheap weapons at the ready. "It's a natural counter to what China has been doing," said Euan Graham, a senior analyst with the Australian Strategic Policy Institute think tank, referring to the Chinese arsenal of ships and conventional ballistic missiles including those designed to attack vessels.
