German Taurus missiles are not only highly accurate, but also have a long range of 500 kilometers.
Germany will not move its Taurus cruise missiles to Ukraine because it does not want the Ukrainians to independently identify targets for attacking them, and sending German specialists to Ukraine is unacceptable. German Chancellor Olaf Scholz said this on Friday, May 24, NTV wrote.
He said that Berlin does not want to risk the possible escalation of the war in Ukraine into a war between Russia and NATO, because “Germany should control where its cruise missiles are launched.”
Scholz emphasized that Taurus missiles are not only highly accurate, but also have a long range of 500 kilometers. That is why the transfer of such weapons, according to the German Chancellor, “will only be justified if we ourselves determine the goals.”
“And this, in turn, is impossible if you don’t want to be part of this conflict yourself,” emphasizes Scholz.
Note that Germany has announced a new military aid package for the Armed Forces of Ukraine. So, Germany, together with Denmark, will provide 10 Leopard 1 A5 main battle tanks, 3 HIMARS MLRS and more. In addition, the German Ministry of Defense has asked the federal government for an additional 3.8 billion euros to help Ukraine for the fiscal year.
Let’s recall that the German Ministry of Defense has requested an additional 3.8 billion euros from its government to provide assistance to Ukraine in the current fiscal year.
