It is noted that the German government is not transferring these missiles to Ukraine, allegedly due to their shortage.
The German company Taurus Systems GmbH, which produces famous cruise missiles, made an interesting statement. The company denied the words of Social Democratic Party defense expert Johannes Arlt that the defense industry could not quickly replenish stocks of Taurus missiles if they were transferred to Ukraine.
“In the event of an appropriate order, the manufacturer is ready to both launch production of new Taurus missiles and modify existing ones in the shortest possible time,” Deutsche Welle said in a statement.
It is worth noting that in November the manufacturing company MBDA, which owns Taurus Systems, said that it could quickly both increase production of Taurus missiles and integrate new technical advances.

Germany has repeatedly said that it will not transfer Taurus missiles to Ukraine, although Britain and France have already transferred Storm Shadow and SCALP missiles with similar characteristics. According to media reports, Chancellor Olaf Scholz opposes the transfer of missiles. The German opposition and the media criticize the government because of this.
On January 16, it became known that the German opposition party CDU, which advocates providing Taurus missiles to Ukraine, increased pressure on the federal government.
