Germany's defense ministry is exploring options to acquire long-range missiles from Israel and Ukraine, after the U.S. decision to cancel the deployment of Tomahawk cruise missiles left a gap in its capabilities, according to a report shared by OSINTdefender.
Germany is exploring options to acquire long-range missile systems from Israel and Ukraine following the U.S. decision to cancel the deployment of Tomahawk cruise missiles, leaving the Bundeswehr without a planned long-range strike capability. The German defense ministry is reportedly examining alternative solutions to fill the gap, including possible procurement from Israel's defense industry and from Ukraine's existing stockpiles or production lines. The report, shared by the OSINTdefender channel, does not name specific Israeli or Ukrainian systems under consideration. The development follows a pattern of accelerating German defense procurement, including the recent allocation of $400 million for Patriot interceptor missiles for Ukraine, as The Zioneer reported on June 18. No official confirmation from the German government or Israeli defense sources has been issued yet.
