Germany plans to create a multi-level long-range weapons system worth nearly €12 billion. It will include the Israeli cruise missile Anthem, American Tomahawks, and joint developments with the UK. The goal is to deter Russia and enable strikes over thousands of kilometers. The first phase could be launched in 2027. The program is based on German Defense Ministry documents obtained by Politico. Chancellor Friedrich Merz announced an agreement with the US to purchase Tomahawks. The joint project with the UK includes a cruise missile and hypersonic weapons. The program is being implemented amid warnings of a possible Russian attack on NATO by the end of the decade.
