The United States will begin deploying long-range weapons to Germany in 2026.



Germany is interested in the deployment of American long-range weapons on its territory as it should prevent enemy attacks from the "safe rear". This was stated by German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, Der Spiegel writes .

In this way we care about preventing a global war," he pointed out.

The Chancellor confirmed that Germany will continue to monitor arms deliveries to Ukraine - so that they do not lead to a direct confrontation with Russia.

It is just as clear that the decisions taken here are always aimed at ensuring the security of our country and NATO," Scholz added.

It is known that the United States will begin deploying long-range weapons in Germany in 2026, including Tomahawk missiles and hypersonic weapons with a much longer range than the current ground-based weapons in Europe.

Specifically, Tomahawk is a long-range submarine, surface, land and air-launched cruise missile. The range is up to 1,800 kilometres.
