After the future elections in Germany, Ukraine will probably receive the most modern German winged Taurus missiles. This strategic weapons can be used by Ukrainian military forces for long -haul blows for Russian purposes. According to Forbes, German Taurus missiles can be installed on the old Soviet Su-24 bombers, which will allow Ukraine to significantly strengthen its ability to strike the critical objects of the enemy.
Taurus is a 1.5-ton winged rocket with a turbo fan engine that is capable of reaching permutant speeds. With GPS and inertial guidance, the rocket has a range of up to 500 km. Due to its high -tech characteristics, Taurus is extremely desirable for the Ukrainian soldiers, who seek to strengthen their opportunities in far combat, without relying on less powerful and far -off missiles.
Despite the numerous requests of Ukraine to the Chancellor Government Olaf Soltz, who has repeatedly refused to provide missiles, there is a hope for the future Chancellor Friedrich Mertz. Merz turned out to be more open to the idea of transferring Taurus to Ukraine, and, according to Forbes, the German government can put up to 100 missiles to Ukraine. This amount will greatly increase the existing stock of winged missiles of Ukraine, and given the supplies from France, the United Kingdom and Italy (which have sent several hundred similar Storm Shadow and Scalp-EG missiles), these missiles can become critical for further progress.
According to the publication, the possible supply of Taurus missile may be delayed by the end of spring or early summer of 2025, as Merz may not have sufficient political influence to accelerate this decision. However, according to analysts, even later, supply will be important for Ukraine's strategic advantage.
With the presence of rockets such as Storm Shadow and Scalp-EG, Ukraine is able to strike deep and important purposes in Russia. But since these missiles can end quickly, Taurus missiles can be necessary to replenish and allow you to restore important raids to enemy strategic objects.
