Germany turns to €3.4 billion Typhon and Tomahawk purchase to field 2,500-kilometer strike capability after U.S. cancels deployment

An official German defence planning document proposes nearly €3.4 billion for U.S.-made Typhon launchers and Tomahawk cruise missiles; parliament has not yet approved the proposed purchase. The land-based capability would reach targets up to about 2,500 kilometres away and could enter the draft 2027 budget. Berlin is pursuing a national option after Washington cancelled a planned rotational Typhon deployment that had been announced for 2026. The system would provide an interim conventional deep-strike capability while European alternatives mature, with quantities and delivery timing still undisclosed.
