Ukraine may receive Swedish-German TAURUS cruise missiles with a range of up to 500km

The AFU recently began using French-British Storm Shadow cruise missiles. It is possible that Ukraine will receive another similar weaponry.

Here's What We Know

Bundestag member Roderich Kiesewetter has proposed transferring the TAURUS cruise missiles to the Ukrainian Armed Forces. He said this in an interview with Redaktionsnetzwerk Deutschland (RDN). Kiesewetter is a member of the Bundestag's external committee and a representative of the opposition Christian Democratic Union (CDU) party. According to him, TAURUS missiles could be a "useful contribution to Germany". Unfortunately, there is no concrete information on the delivery of the missiles yet.
