US EditionNATO Will Need More Long-Range Missiles to Deter Russia, US General Says
EUROPE, JUL 11 – NATO aims to strengthen deterrence by expanding long-range missile stocks, with the U.S. supplying 90% of capabilities and deployments planned from 2026 onward.
- That warning stems from Russia’s effective use of long-range missiles in Ukraine to strike deep targets and Europe’s heavy dependence on U.S. supplies.

- In 2026, U.S. long-range missile deployments in Europe are planned, prompting Russia to criticize them as a national security threat.
- Building on deployment plans, Oslo’s Fabian Hoffmann estimates that 90% of NATO’s long-range missile capabilities are supplied by the U.S., with six European countries participating in ELSA to diversify sources.
