The new German government said that it will no longer publicly discuss whether it is to deliver Taurus cruise missiles to Ukraine. The German-Swedish long-range missiles had been the focal point of controversy among critics who believed that the previous Chancellor Olaf Scholz was not doing enough to support Ukraine against Russia’s war of aggression. They included Scholz’s successor, Friedrich Merz, then Germany’s opposition leader.
But shortly after entering office, Merz’s government decided to return to secrecy on the delivery of specific weapon systems, including Taurus, and went on to downplay their effect. The government was to “keep a low profile on Taurus,” said a spokesperson for the Defence Ministry, led by Merz’s coalition partner, the Social Democrats. He added that the delivery of the cruise missiles had been “completely overrated” in terms of their effect in the public debate.
Germany would continue to support Ukraine with weapons, including long-range weapons, but would not specify which weapon systems would be delivered or at what point, the spokesperson said. Retired NATO official Jamie Shea says that Merz may be more willing to provide Ukraine with Taurus long-range cruise missiles. According to him, Taurus missiles will smash Putin’s stagnant offensive. He said that Ukraine can strike deep into Russian with Taurus cruise missiles. Serhii Sumlennyi, director of the European Resilience Initiative Center, believes that Germany will transfer Taurus missiles to Ukraine in the coming months, while simultaneously training Ukrainian crews. “All the weapons stored in the Bundeswehr’s warehouses are absolutely worthless, because it’s clear that the German government lacks the political will to use them against the aggressor state. And if there were an attack on Germany, with Russian troops already entering German territory – say, near the Oder River – that would mean the occupiers had already passed through Ukraine and Poland. At that point, the weapons would no longer be needed, because it’s obvious Germany would not be able to stop such an invasion. In my view, the best use for German weapons is to transfer them to Ukraine, which would help preserve Germany’s own integrity. If I’m not mistaken, there are currently around 500–600 Taurus missiles in German storage,” noted Serhii Sumlennyi.
According to him, the issue is that no new Taurus missiles have been produced in recent years due to the lack of government orders for manufacturers. And by law, German arms producers are prohibited from manufacturing weapons without a state order—even producing weapons for storage is a criminal offense. Claims like “we need these weapons ourselves” are false: if the Taurus missiles are truly needed, then the government should be placing orders with manufacturers. Accordingly, the older missiles could be transferred to Ukraine, while newly produced ones would remain in Germany.
