"There will be no Taurus rockets to Ukraine at this time. In my opinion, the Federal Government and Chancellor of Germany have made it clear very clearly. We have also informed the Ukrainian government about this decision, and in detail informed in detail. And now, everything I can say in public the reason, " - emphasized the Eger.
The diplomat noted that despite the fact that Taurus will not be given now, there was information that Germany was preparing to Ukraine another package of assistance in the amount of 1 billion euros. It will include components that will help strengthen the Ukrainian air defense. "By the way, today Germany - perhaps, if not taken into account by the US - is a leading country that invests in your air defense," the ambassador said.
The Taurus rocket is a large-range air-top rocket designed for high-precision shocks and lesions of high-protected and recessed goals, without a carrier-carrier-aircraft. The Taurus missiles radius is more than 500 km. They are equipped with a powerful combat part - Mephisto. The Armed Forces could use them, in particular, for attacks on enemy air defense systems. He recalled that Berlin reported that he would hand over another Patriot complex to Ukraine.
