Opinions Divided: The media cannot decide whether the Germany is ready to transfer Taurus missiles to Ukraine

According to some journalists, Berlin is ready to transfer missiles, but with restrictions. Others write that Germany does not consider this opportunity. Germany wants to modify Taurus missiles before sending them to Ukraine. This was reported on August 11 by Reuters with reference to its own sources. According to journalists, the German government is negotiating with the weapons manufacturer to hand over Taurus missiles to Ukraine, which can affect targets at a distance of 500 kilometers.

However, in Berlin, they are still maintained because of fears about the range of these weapons and its potential use against goals in Russia. Therefore, the Chancellor Olaf Scholz government wants to limit the rocket flight range. The publication writes that, according to experts, technically limit the range of Taurus winged rocket. It is reported that winged missiles are difficult to detect air defense radars because they fly at low altitudes.

They are mainly used to defeat important goals in the rear of the enemy, such as command houbs, ammunition and fuel compositions, airfields and bridges. At the same time, the German edition of Bild on August 11 reported that the German government did not consider the supply of Taurus long -range missiles to Ukraine. The publication quoted the words of a high -ranking official from the federal government.
