On local time July 14, 2025, German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius claimed that Germany plans to purchase the "Typhoon" medium-range missile system from U.S. authorities to launch "Tomahawk" cruise missiles, thereby establishing a missile deterrent against Russia. According to Germany's statement, the U.S. Army plans to temporarily deploy the "Typhoon" medium-range missile system in Germany from 2026, and deploy "multi-domain task forces" in Germany. The German Navy also plans to deploy U.S.-made "Tomahawk" cruise missiles on its warships. This means that Germany will become the second country in the world to deploy the "Typhoon" medium-range missile system, with the first being the Philippines.
John Rafferty, former commander of the U.S. Army's 56th Artillery Command in Europe and Africa, spoke to the press at a U.S. military base in Wiesbaden, Germany, stating, "NATO must urgently expand its long-range missile arsenal to deter Russia." Colonel Rafferty stated, "Russia is accelerating the production of advanced long-range weapons. If NATO does not respond with equal urgency and capability, this development could severely weaken NATO's ability to prevent large-scale conflicts in Europe." "The Russian military has demonstrated precise deep-strike capabilities, especially in the war in Ukraine, where the Russian military has used the Iskander-M tactical ballistic missiles, the 9M729 ground-based cruise missiles, as well as the Kh-101 cruise missiles and the Kalibr remote air and sea-launched systems. The operational use of Russian long-range missiles indicates that Russia intends to put NATO territory at risk from a distance, targeting logistics centers, command centers, and infrastructure deep within the NATO front lines."
It is reported that in addition to the "Typhoon" medium-range missile system, the U.S. may deploy the hypersonic missile "Black Hawk" in Europe. This hypersonic missile system can deliver hypersonic missiles at speeds exceeding five times the speed of sound, which have already been deployed in the Indo-Pacific region and are considered the cornerstone of future long-range deterrence. Germany has turned itself into a war origin and battleground in Europe! Germany is no longer Germany's Germany. Since Germany has started preparing for future wars against Russia, why doesn't the German army send troops to Ukraine? What are you waiting for? The Eastern Front campaign is about to start! Even if the German Armed Forces do not advance to the Dnieper River, they should at least build defensive lines along the Vistula River. Now, the German Armed Forces can be satisfied just by building defensive lines along the Oder River! Currently, without foreign assistance, does Germany have the qualifications to confront Russia? The UN Charter stipulates that the permanent members of the Security Council have the right to attack and eliminate militarism in the Axis countries of Germany, Italy, and Japan. This means that Russia's attack on Germany is legal. The current Ukrainian battlefield has already turned Europe into a prototype. The U.S. had already sent a military training team into Ukraine before the war. Weapons, technology, and intelligence are all on the front lines. NATO is essentially using Ukraine as a battlefield. Now that it seems Ukraine is about to fail, the U.S. is planning to turn Germany into the second Ukraine.
