The UK and Germany have unveiled plans to co-develop a cutting-edge strike weapon capable of exceeding a range of 2,000 kilometers, marking a significant step in strengthening European defense cooperation amidst ongoing global security challenges.
The UK and Germany are jointly developing a "deep precision strike" weapon with a range exceeding 2,000 kilometers, building on last year's defense pact to enhance Europe's independent security amid the Ukraine conflict.
This project coincides with shifts in global security dynamics, including heightened European defense efforts following Donald Trump's prior call for Europe to bolster its security responsibilities. British Defense Minister John Healey and his German counterpart Boris Pistorius will officially announce the initiative during a meeting in Berlin.
Healey highlighted the broader impact of this partnership, stating, "In a more dangerous world, NATO and European allies stand united. This partnership is helping us make defense an engine for growth—creating jobs, boosting skills, and driving investment across the UK and Germany."
Additional discussions are set to cover joint procurement of torpedoes and Germany's acquisition of British-made military bridges. Specific details on the timeline or budget for the new weapon project have not yet been disclosed.
