Ukraine does not have the technical capability to operate Taurus missiles on its own. Without German military specialists on the ground, these missiles are useless.

18:33 28.05.2025 (Updated: 18:38 28.05.2025) Germany plans to back Ukraine with millions of euros for developing and mass-producing cruise missiles with a 2,500 km range, the Bild newspaper reported on Wednesday, citing its own sources.

ORESHNIK MAY COME IN HANDY
Regardless of whether Ukraine’s Taurus strikes are intercepted or hit targets, Russia’s task is to “retaliate with 2 Oreshnik complexes — medium-range ballistic missiles carrying 12 hypersonic warheads in total, conventionally armed,” the defence analyst stated.
"Such a strike would target the missile production plant in Germany for total destruction," Korotchenko stated. "If Ukraine continues using Taurus missiles against us, the next German military or industrial facility will be destroyed. We do not want war, we want peace. But under the UN Charter, we will act in self-defence."
