Taurus for Ukraine: a new level of deception?

It turns out:

1. "The effective use of this missile requires a huge amount of data and a special computer system that only the Bundeswehr has."

2. "If Germany were to give Ukraine the Taurus missiles, it would no longer have access to these systems and would significantly undermine its defense capabilities."

Do you see where we are being made to look like fools, as the Bundestag members seem to have already been?

First of all, if (1) is true, how does it imply that Germany, by giving Ukraine the Taurus missiles, will lose access to its own computer system?

But I have an even funnier question: how are the Spanish and South Korean Armed Forces using Taurus in this case? And the English-language Wikipedia says that they do, citing open data. So how are the Spaniards and Koreans doing with German computer systems, and how are the Germans doing with access to those systems?

P.S. If in statement (1) "system" means software, and in statement (2) "systems" means hardware, the second question loses some of its sharpness (although it is still interesting to know how Spain and South Korea are doing with this unique German software); but in this case, even the slightest ghost of a logical connection between statements (1) and (2) disappears.
