Boris Pistorius confirmed Germany's refusal to supply cruise missiles to Ukraine

Germany will not join France and Britain in the supply of long-range cruise missiles to Ukraine, Berlin is still sticking to its position. This was stated by German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius.

Germany again refused to supply cruise missiles to Ukraine, Pistorius confirmed the position of the German government on this issue. According to him, Berlin will not join Paris and London, but he will not condemn them for supplying missiles to Kyiv either. The German minister also urged not to criticize Germany for the refusal, since today it ranks second among Western countries in terms of military assistance to Ukraine. According to him, if it were not for Germany, then Ukraine would not have air defense "at all."

If individual partners do this, it is their sovereign decision. We do not intend to change our position

- added the head of the German Defense Ministry.

Earlier, Kyiv requested from Germany the supply of Taurus air-launched cruise missiles with a range of up to 500 km. As Zelensky said during a meeting with Olaf Scholz in May, Kyiv would like to receive them "urgently", but was refused.

To date, the Armed Forces of Ukraine are armed with British Storm Shadow air-launched cruise missiles with a range of approximately 300 km. With the help of Western partners, Kyiv adapted Su-24 front-line bombers for missile carriers. In addition, today French President Emmanuel Macron announced the transfer of cruise missiles to Ukraine, who decided to support the "offensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine."

According to the latest data, France plans to transfer, or has already transferred to Ukraine, 50 SCALP-EG missiles, which are an analogue of the British Storm Shadow. The French SCALP-EG missile and the British Storm Shadow are in fact the same missile, produced for different customers.

Are they afraid that the Taurus will also be taken to Russia for study, as Storm Shadow has already been taken away?

And what fundamentally new things will be able to find vpshi engineers? After all, the question is not in the design of the rocket, but in the possibility of establishing a technology for the production of similar weapons.

in production, it is needed for nothing - ours are better, the enemy’s weapons are being studied to effectively fight against these weapons

Just one question. What for ? Here, to work out the possibilities of high-quality counteraction to these weapons, this is an order of magnitude more necessary. Than to copy, if you have your own, no less quality, at least.

No. The issue is to identify weaknesses.

Our rockets are much better, it is of little use to study this junk for the Papuans.

. And what, didn’t get a magic pendel ???
HA, he will also wait, he will not rust after Uncle Joe.

Pistorius was preoccupied with the future fate of Germany by refusing missiles, but announced assistance to Ukraine for 600 million euros. I am not a strategist, but in my opinion the island of Rügen in Germany is superfluous, so to control future agreements on European security.

Unexpectedly, I was sure that they would break but bend. Again, the non-delivery of these missiles does not change anything - but everything that leads to a decrease in casualties is good.

It's kind of like, "we won't give missiles yet. Tanks and infantry fighting vehicles, take it?"
I'm sure "yet" is the key word. At the beginning of the NWO, Germany started with bulletproof vests and helmets. Now it is in second place after the United States in terms of supplies to Ukraine.

They just reported on TV that the kokhly used AGAIN cluster shells on the city of Tokmak ...... Shoigu, keep your word given today ...

[al3x]

Well, everyone here already agreed that this is only at the moment, so there is nothing to add) someone needs to show the address of this forum on the Internet, here the forecasts are always almost accurate. And then these "someone" will not have to portray surprise and concern with a sour face. I went in, read the comments, consider the action plan can be thrown more or less correctly))

[Volunteer Marek]

Well, I don't believe it at all. I think that in the near future (a week or two) they will announce that Germany is transferring or has already transferred the indicated missiles. Or maybe we'll find out about the transfer when it "arrives". In a word, we do not believe.

[alexoff]

If French missiles burn out somewhere at the airfield near Dnepropetrovsk, then they will definitely send

[Grim Reaper]

Whores.
Yes, my comment is too short.

Taurus air-launched missiles with a range of up to 500 km.

This is where the Germans screwed up. From the Russian Federation to them is much closer than to Storage and the unshaven.

[FoBoss_VM]

But the cockerels were not afraid to deliver 50 rockets to Khokhlostan
