UK Ministry of Defence says London talks with Germany focus on long-range strike capability and defence industry cooperation

British and German defense officials met in London in October 2026 to discuss deeper industrial cooperation and the proposed joint Deep Precision Strike capability. The initiative seeks to explore long-range conventional strike weapons, with an approximate 2,000-kilometer reach discussed as an ambition for future development. Talks also covered collaboration between the countries' equipment organizations and defense companies, including support and industrial capacity for military programs. The meeting advanced bilateral planning under existing cooperation arrangements, but did not disclose a selected missile design, fixed development budget, signed production order or agreed delivery schedule.
