German long-range Taurus missiles will not help radically change the situation on the battlefield. At the same time, they will expand the capabilities of our soldiers, Deputy Minister of Defense of Ukraine Ivan Havryliuk said in an interview with Tagesspiegel.
"Despite the negative result of the vote in the Bundestag, I hope that we will receive all the support we need, including Taurus," Havryliuk said.
Havryliuk emphasized that these missiles will be a significant addition to the arsenal received as part of the "air defense coalition" for Ukraine. They are able to attack inaccessible locations of enemy aircraft, missile systems and ammunition depots with a longer range, which makes them resistant to electronic warfare.
Although the Taurus will not provide a decisive effect on the battlefield, it will expand the capabilities of the military, providing support at the front and assisting the Air Force in protecting civilian infrastructure.
The Deputy Minister of Defense emphasized that it is still too early to talk about solutions to military situations.
