RT @general_ben: Ukraine armed with ATACMS and/or TAURUS would be able to reach every square meter of Russian-occupied Ukraine. No Russian HQ or rocket launcher or ammunition storage site would be safe. No Russian ship would be safe. It's only our lack of political will that stops this.

Officials in Germany keep saying that #Taurus would not be a game changer, and, just like Biden, that they are doing everything they can. This article makes the compelling argument that long range weapons indeed would change #Ukraine 's tactical situation. - Anna Sauerbreytweet

RT @jurgen_nauditt: Olaf Scholz's party infiltrated by Russia?
There have been calls for Taurus missiles to be delivered to Ukraine for months.
SPD defense politician Arlt said yesterday that these could not be reproduced in a timely manner and that Germany would then be left without them. Increasing weapons production capacity in Germany is generally difficult. That's why the SPD is against a delivery of Taurus to Ukraine.
German media
(SPD is the party of Olaf Scholz)
The manufacturer of Taurus said yesterday:
Joachim Knopf, Managing Director of Taurus Systems GmbH: “We can push forward both the #Taurus new production, the platform integration and the overhaul of the inventory at short notice. The prerequisite is the order from the customer.” (i.e. Olaf Scholz)
SPD politicians have repeatedly claimed that Germany only has 150 operational Taurus.
The manufacturer said this in an interview with politician Roderich Kiesewetter:
All 600 are ready for use, some just need to be certified.
Olaf Scholz has been blocking the delivery of Taurus for eight months.

RT @Tendar: We might have a breakthrough regarding the TAURUS missile.
The government parties agreed to send the notion for a parliament voting on a new military aid package containing “long range weapons”. The word “TAURUS” is not mentioned but it is obviously the core of that new military aid package. Voting should take place this week.
Reason for this change of heart is Navalny’s murder. Even members of the SPD are appalled and now ready to support the bill, in order to send a message to Putin.
The notion is also a concession to TAURUS supporters in the government parties who threatened to bring in their own notion, further straining the government coalition.

RT @robinwagener: Wir sollten die 🇺🇦 nicht nur solange wie nötig, sondern so entschlossen wie nötig unterstützen. Dazu bedarf es einer aufrichtigen Debatte und Fakten: Fakt 1: Es braucht KEIN Bundestagsmandat. Der #Taurus kann - wie andere Systeme - unabhängig der @BMVg_Bundeswehr eingesetzt werden. Fakt 2: Wir könnten genügend liefern, sollten aber unbedingt nachproduzieren. Fakt 3: Taurus sollte schon heute in die F16 integriert werden, damit wir Zeit sparen.
Ich fürchte der Bundeskanzler wurde falsch beraten.

RT @AlexLuck9: Chancellor Scholz continues to refuse transfer of Taurus LACM on the basis that it requires German soldiers in Ukraine (to approve/enter targeting data). A questionable approach on technical grounds, but realistically Scholz isnt worried about that anyway.

RT @Klitschko: Mr. Chancellor, you have once again suggested that Taurus missiles could also be used by Ukraine to attack Moscow.
I say to you: Please trust us, please trust the Ukrainian people! We have shown for two years that we only deploy weapons systems as agreed with our partners.
But look at the situation on the front lines these days: we urgently need Taurus to disrupt the logistical supply of the russians with their almost endless supply of ammunition and weapons! #Taurus @Bundeskanzler #WeAreAllUkrainians #FreeUkraine #StandWithUkraine #Ukraine

Long-range missiles will not be decisive for the war in #Ukraine, #Germany does not intend to cross that line - German defense minister
"No one wants to engage ground troops in Ukraine. Of course, this is being discussed. A decisive line is being crossed here, which we will not cross. We will not become the party of war. And that is why the #Taurus has not been delivered yet," Pistorius added. - NEXTAtweet

RT @FRHoffmann1: Alles auf den Punkt gebracht.
Die Ukraine ist heute deutlich weniger auf westliche Marschflugkörper angewiesen als noch 2023/24.
Aber: Der Taurus ist unter Scholz zum Symbol deutscher Erpressbarkeit geworden. Wenn Merz nach Ablauf des Ultimatums nicht liefert, verspielt auch er seine Glaubwürdigkeit.
Gleichzeitig darf nicht vergessen werden, dass dank Scholz’ Verzögerungstaktik der Taurus erst integriert und ukrainisches Personal ausgebildet werden muss. Drei Monate sind optimistisch, realistischer sind vier bis sechs. Der Taurus wird also nicht morgen in der Ukraine eintreffen.
