Germany Considers Delivering Taurus Cruise Missiles to Ukraine

In May 2025, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz sparked renewed discussion surrounding the provision of Taurus cruise missiles to Ukraine for conducting strikes within Russian territory.
This follows predecessor Olaf Scholz blocking Taurus delivery to avoid escalation after Moscow threatened war involvement if Germany supplied them.
Taurus is an advanced, air-launched missile with a range over 500 kilometers, able to hit strategic targets like the Crimean Bridge and penetrate hardened defenses.
Merz urged supplying Taurus “finally, without delay” and said lifting range restrictions would make a “decisive difference” in Ukraine's warfare capabilities.
Experts agree Taurus could enhance Ukraine’s strike options but warn it is unlikely to change the overall war trajectory significantly.
