Germany invests €12 billion in long-range weapons to deter Russia

Germany is set to invest nearly €12 billion to develop a long-range weapons arsenal aimed at deterring Russia. This initiative, outlined in defense ministry documents, is a priority for Germany and NATO, enabling strikes on targets deep behind enemy lines. The plan includes deploying a low-cost cruise missile by 2027 and acquiring American Tomahawk missiles. Additionally, Germany is collaborating with the UK on advanced weapon systems. This military buildup coincides with Germany's review of the Russian House cultural center in Berlin due to rising hybrid security threats.
