TL;DR Summary

Germany is reportedly in talks with arms manufacturer MBDA to potentially send Taurus cruise missiles to Ukraine, with discussions focusing on altering the programming of the missiles to restrict possible targets. While the UK and France have already sent cruise missiles to Ukraine, Germany has been hesitant due to concerns about their potential use against Russia. The German government has not provided any new information on the status of the missile deliveries. The Taurus missiles are sought after by Ukraine for their precision and ability to fly at low altitudes, making them difficult to detect. The German opposition has called for clarification on the government's stance, emphasizing the need for careful consideration and no involvement of German soldiers. Germany currently has around 600 Taurus missiles in its inventory.
