    That’s just another show like Macrons big words about Russia. There will be no action. What makes you think suddenly there will be a difference? Other countries also have cruise missiles like Taurus but aren’t sending them. Only thing you hear is blaming Germany for not sending Taurus.

    Yet somehow people buy all the rhetoric.

      Both France and the UK have sent SCALP/ Shadowstorm cruise missiles to Ukraine, so I don’t get what you’re referring to. The Taurus would be interesting for Ukraine because of the longer range this weapon system has.

        Yes they send some but the supply has been more or less dry. And they don’t seem to be ordering new ones. The UK literally suggested Germany could send them Taurus in exchange for Storm Shadow because they ran out and their new replacement missle is still in development and that is why they arent buying any new ones. Also anyone else could have bought Taurus or similar missles to send to Ukraine but they aren’t. Also UK/France are not the only countries that have similar systems. Yet you never hear complaints about them not sending them.
