Defense Express: Berlin refrains from sending Taurus to Ukraine over low stockpile
Germany’s ability to provide Taurus cruise missiles to Ukraine is constrained by low inventory numbers, according to Defense Express,
with only 150 currently in service out of an original 2002 order for 600.

Germany quickly earmarked 100 billion euros for defense spending last year. It would be wise to quickly fund the production of more of these cruise missiles. Only 500 million would pay for about 500 new cruise missiles. About 1 billion could get you nearly 1000 cruise missiles, according to old cost statistics.
The lesson you are learning from the war, that apart from naval power, the power of the European militaries are far less than published. And what little European nations have, have been greatly reduced by sending the weapons to Ukraine to destroy Russian equipment, ammo depots and fighting capabilities.
If Europe started the rearmament last year, Europe could have sent more weapons to Ukraine, including these cruise missiles.
This is why grand rearmament is so vital. It not only prevent you from occupation, it helps Ukraine too.
