German Taurus range is likely to be up to 300 km - military expert Zgurets

This was stated by Defense Express analyst Serhiy Zgurets on Espreso TV.

"When we talk about Taurus, for some reason we say that it will hit targets at 500 km. And the Storm Shadow missile can hit targets at a distance of up to 500 km, but now there are certain limitations on the range of missiles provided to Ukraine. The German Taurus missile, I can say with 100% certainty, will have a range of up to 300 km," he emphasized.

However, the expert noted that by combining the range of these missiles and the Su-24 aircraft, it would be possible to cover those distances using the mobility of the platform.

• In May, it was reported that Ukraine had asked Germany for long-range missiles.

• At the end of June, German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius said that Germany did not intend to provide Ukraine with these missiles.

• In early August, it was reported that the Bundestag had reached a consensus on the transfer of Taurus missiles to Ukraine.
