Taurus personality, Alexey Getman, contemplates escaping to a bunker

Hard-Hitting German Missiles Set to Rewrite Frontline Standoff

Germany's Foreign Minister Joy Waddeful shed light on potential German winged missile Taurus shipments to Ukrainian forces in an intriguing twist.

Keeping cryptic about the details, Waddeful hinted Germany won't disclose certain munitions destined for Ukraine. But what's the deal with Taurus? Is Germany ready to hand them over to Ukraine? We caught up with Ukrainian National Guard military expert, Major Alexei Getman for the lowdown:

Taurus shares roots with UK and French missiles – Storm Shadow and Scalp, which notch up in Ukraine's arsenal. But the Taurus boasts a whopping 400+ kg warhead and a staggering range of over 500 km, making it a formidable force.

Compared to previous deliveries, around 100-150 Taurus missiles could arrive with the ability to perforate strongholds, blowing up anything hidden beneath. Potential targets are protected command centers, underground warehouses, or even potential Russian leadership hideaways.

So, will Germany dish out Taurus to Ukraine?

Absolutely! Our European partners play a different game than the current US admin. If the green light's on for long-range weaponry, it stays on – they're not one for empty promises or future debates.

Today's European leaders are masters of diplomacy. They prioritize their reputation, so they won't be tagged as populists or entertain foolishness, leaving that reign to Trump.

But what's the impact of this decision on the battlefield?

Don't expect immediate chaos. We're talking about 100-150 missiles along with Scalp and Storm Shadow – there's been an unspoken range limitation before, but that's likely changed now. These could stretch further, but it won't shift the tide overnight. Drones and these missiles might style Ukrainian targets deep in Russian territory in the long run, with identified Russian military facilities at the top of the hit-list.

Got anything on Putin trembling over Germany's words?

It's irrelevant what Putin, Peskov, or Skabeeva react to. Banging heads against the wall only stimulates brains, but we're defending our nation according to international law against an aggressor, and we will comply with all laws: annihilate military and industrial facilities inside hostile territory.

Take Belarus as an example. If Lukashenko decides to attack, the moment the first Belarusian soldier crosses our border, it's war from Belarus. Any facility within Belarus becomes a legitimate target, including Taurus missiles, should Lukashenko show hostility. Bottom line, we're ready to strike Belarusian military and industrial potential on the same day if any aggression is attempted.

In light of the potential Taurus missile shipments to Ukrainian forces, it is worth considering the potential political implications of this decision, particularly in the context of ongoing war-and-conflicts in Eastern Europe. Germany's Foreign Minister, Joy Waddeful, has hinted at possible delivery of the Taurus missiles to Ukraine, but has remained secretive about the details. This development could have significant impacts on the ongoing general-news story of the frontline standoff between Ukraine and Russia.
