Great Britain and Germany have announced their intention to create high-precision weapons

The United Kingdom and Germany plan to develop high-precision weapons with a range of more than 2,000 km. This was announced by the British government on May 15.

"The new precision strike capability with an accuracy of 2,000 km will be one of the most advanced systems ever developed by the UK to protect the British public and strengthen NATO deterrence, while stimulating the UK and European defense sectors," the Cabinet's website says.

At the same time, the timing of the project or its budget is not specified.

According to the British government, this initiative is based on the commitments made by the two countries in 2024. Then London and Berlin signed a bilateral defense agreement, emphasizing the need for Europe to be able to defend itself against a possible escalation of the conflict in Ukraine.
