US Army Fires Tomahawk Missile From New Typhon Launcher During Philippines Drill
- German lawmaker and defense expert Roderich Kiesewetter proposed that Europe should jointly develop missile systems with Ukraine, following the United States' refusal to deploy Tomahawk cruise missiles in Germany.
- Describing Washington's decision as a "huge mistake," Kiesewetter warned that Russian Iskander missile systems in Kaliningrad threaten Europe, while Moscow violated the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty in 2017.
- Potential consequences include a withdrawal of 5,000 American troops from Germany, though the Pentagon previously cleared a possible Tomahawk transfer to Ukraine despite President Donald Trump's stated hesitation.
- Security expert Nico Lange argued that Europe requires independent long-range strike capabilities to avoid relying on the United States for critical defense decisions.
- In February, Senator Lindsey Graham urged Trump to supply Tomahawks to Ukraine, as Kiesewetter proposed a collaborative development plan ensuring such systems are operational by 2030.
