According to various sources, German Defense Minister Pistorius and US Secretary of War Pete Hegseth signed an MOU in Ankara, Türkiye, for Germany to purchase as many as 400 Tomahawk missiles and a compatible Typhon launch system. The number of missiles actually agreed upon remains classified.
The Tomahawk missile can travel up to 2,500 km and is also capable of carrying nuclear warheads, although currently they are armed with conventional warheads. Obviously, this is not a defensive weapon but an offensive one, which, if located in Germany, would be able to strike deep into Russia.
Chancellor of BlackRock, (or is it Germany?), Friedrich Merz, told Parliament: “This will close an important strategic gap in our defense, and at the same time, we will work to develop our own European systems and station them in Europe.”
