Germany plans to spend nearly 12 billion euros on a new long-range missile arsenal, according to Politico, citing confidential defense ministry documents. First systems are expected by 2027. The arsenal may include US-Israeli Anthem missiles, Ukrainian BARS and Flamingo systems, and US Tomahawk cruise missiles with Typhon launchers. Germany also aims to jointly develop a cruise missile and hypersonic glide vehicle with Britain, capable of striking targets over 2,000 kilometers away. Germany previously sought long-range drones by 2029, but the Bundeswehr faces equipment shortages, with reservists reportedly stealing weapons for training. More complex systems are slated for the mid-2030s.
