Germany's Refusal to Send Taurus Missiles to Ukraine

🎦 00:10-02:15

Jonathan reveals that German Chancellor Olaf Scholz has announced that Germany will not be providing Taurus missiles to Ukraine. This information comes from Gordon Rapinski, Editor-in-Chief of Politico Germany. Scholz's stated reason is that deploying Taurus missiles would necessitate the presence of German soldiers on Ukrainian soil. Jonathan expresses some scepticism, questioning the validity of this justification, particularly given that other similar systems (Storm Shadow and Scalp) have been successfully integrated into Ukrainian operations.

Jonathan's Proposal: Focus on Standoff Munitions

🎦 02:15-04:50

Jonathan pivots to his perspective on effective military aid for Ukraine. He strongly believes that Ukraine's most pressing need is for substantial numbers of standoff munitions, such as Storm Shadow, Taurus, ATACMS, HIMARS missiles, and GLSDBs. He suggests that the UK, in particular, should specialize in producing a large quantity of Storm Shadow missiles to supply Ukraine. Jonathan theorises that an abundance of such weapons would allow Ukrainian forces to effectively neutralize Russian advancements without necessitating extensive frontline combat. He emphasizes the strategic value of long-range missiles, particularly for targeting Russian positions within Crimea and potentially even within Russia itself. He underscores that with Germany's refusal to supply Taurus missiles, the onus falls on the UK and France to provide a consistent and plentiful supply of Storm Shadow and Scalp missiles.
