Arriving when?

Will definitely made tensions even bigger, not the move to make right now
@
Better idea: don’t buy; build our own tech!

But cruise missiles are still no substitute for a ballistic missile system which will be more difficult to intercept.
@
I didn't know it could get any worse.

Caring about worsening russian relations is like worrying about rain falling from the sky. It really doesn't matter what you do to prevent the inevitable but it helps to protect yourself.

Worsen relations with Russia? Is this the question we are asking?
@
Breaking budget restraints not for industrial defence but for the purchase of a very expensive wasting "asset" that deteriorates quickly with the speed of technological development is certainly brilliant.
@
The Netherlands bought 175 Tomahawks including maritime launching equipment, delivery starts in 2028. Locally produced Destinus Ruta Block 2 cruise systems have a range of 700 km and a payload of 250 kg, Block 3 comes next year, it should have a range up to 2000 km.
@
The headline is very ridiculous!!!

Do you mean that Germany would have to seek approval from Moscow before buying the Tomahawk?
@
Correction, there's also an air-launched version of the Tomahawk, in addition to the ship and submarine ones.

Where did they drag this guy from?

More tomahawks are better than less tomahawks. Simple. 👍
@
Who cares about what Russia thinks?? Russia is already conducting grey-zone operations against Europe. All we need is to strenghten ourselves.

Worsen relations with a country that said they were building hypersonic missiles with the sole purpose of wiping our Berlin? 😂
@
No, of course not. And that's a good thing. You don't try to make nice with a bully, you make sure you're prepared to stop them, then they know they can't try
@
Why does Germany care? Buy what you want.
@
Who cares what Russia thinks. They have no say in europe have long range weapons
@
There is no reason to appease Russia at this point.
