UK and Germany to jointly develop 2,000-km-range strike weapon

Britain and Germany announced on May 15, 2025, they will jointly develop a deep precision strike weapon with over 2,000 km range to defend Europe.
This project follows their 2024 bilateral defence pact and responds to escalating risks from the Ukraine war and expectations for Europe’s self-defense.
Defence ministers John Healey and Boris Pistorius revealed the weapon at a Berlin meeting that also covered joint torpedo procurement and military bridge sales.
Healey emphasized that amid increasing global threats, NATO and its European partners remain closely aligned, with their collaboration supporting job creation, skill development, and investment growth.
The weapon aims to extend strike capabilities well beyond conventional European systems and reinforces Europe's growth in defence amid geopolitical tensions.
