Taurus Missile Production Halted, German Govt Faces Criticism From Defence Manufacturer

Рет қаралды 83,750

Күн бұрын

European missile manufacturer MBDA has suspended the manufacturing of Taurus cruise missiles due to contracting issues. The production of Taurus stealth missiles was abruptly halted due to the federal government’s decision not to place further orders. According to German branch head of MBDA, the production was halted as the defence industry is not allowed to produce stockpiles without orders. According to German magazine Der Spiegel, MBDA insists on speeding up the German government's decision-making on production orders. MBDA's German division head, Thomas Gottschild said “We can do it much better and faster here in Germany”. Watch the video to find out more.

Yes, because any sane person would think that stopping production of one of the best weapons against a belligerent neighbor is the best way to go. Restarting production is not a switch that you can turn on and off at will, if it stays off for too long, production capabilities will be either lost or reassigned, and you could end up needing to invest more time and money to restart it afterwards, they are not allowed to export so they can't keep producing it. Take as an example any of the old airplanes the US have that wanted to restart production, they simply can't without expending as much money and time as the original plane (F22 the biggest example). It sucks that the contractor has to be the one telling the idiots at the government how much of a fuck up they are doing, but someone has to tell them.

Both. A lot of classes, as well as ways of raising children, have eliminated critical thinking and analysis. The focus is all on math and science while cutting history classes and the arts. It is pushed by western cultures and politicians who do not want a citizenry that questions. It also takes a lot of time to do thorough informed research, which people who are struggling to make ends meet do not have. In addition, mainstream media is often misleading or portraying information with a lack of context, with a specific political goal in mind.

Germany didn't pay enough to the US defense service, according to former US President Donald Trump's assessment. Germany is a core member of NATO led by the US military support, at the same time, the nation hasn't invested enough defense budgets so far even though the nation is a richer state in the EU. On top of that, weapon builders in Germany & France sent outdated weapons with some functional errors to Ukraine although Ukrainians have very hard moments on the battlefront. Without enough funds for national defense, can't maintain peaceful lives.

What's the point in producing a missile that doesn't deter nor enhance their security, as it is unlikely to be used. The reason being that the return would be a nuke as some NATO are obviously fearful, as is Germany. Besides, will the US respond to a Russian nuke in Europe at the cost of her own destruction. Probably, Russia will have her ICBMs primed if they choose to go down this road. Let's get real Germany, Russia isn't such a demon, but you certainly want her to be.
