@CarstenGurk @NOELreports: Deterrence specifically for Taurus is the quantity you have and how much you are able to produce, to have 590 Taurus laying around for a decade not being used is a waste. The best deterrence that Germany has against Russia is that they have more US bases than another other European Country and that they are in NATO. What would have the most greatest effect is weakening Russia by sending more equipment which includes Taurus missile so the Russian army is weaker and posses less of a threat to Germany.

Russia gaining access to them doesn’t make a difference. Taurus are like any other cruise missile and nearly the exact same cruise missile as the Storm Shadow and SCALP-EG missiles with some minor differences like better penetrator warheads. So Germany giving Taurus to Ukraine would not give Russia anymore information than they already have.

The best course of action for Germany is to:

1. Order more Taurus missiles which they are not doing

2. Send 100 or so Taurus from the 590 missiles they have to Ukraine to weaken Russia militarily, and order more for themselves

Russia isn’t going to be deterred more if Germany has 490 Taurus missiles instead of 590 Taurus missiles. The production matters to and Germany is not ordering more which kind of defeats the argument of Germany needing their Taurus because either they don’t have enough in which case they should order more or they do have enough in which case they should send some to Ukraine and order more.
