According to Welt, Germany has around 600 Taurus missiles, but the total number is classified. Only half of these missiles are ready for use after their technical modernization in 2018, while other missiles have expired certificates, the newspaper reported.Earlier, Margarita Simonyan, the editor-in-chief of RT and the Rossiya Segodnya media group (Sputnik’s parent company) published a readout of a conversation among four German military officers discussing a potential attack on the Crimean Bridge with long-range Taurus missiles. Later, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz ruled out the possibility of supplying Taurus missiles to Ukraine and said that the government was investigating the leaked conversation.Foreign Minister and Green Party leader Annalena Baerbock added fuel to the fire on Sunday, saying she was open to the “option” tabled by her British counterpart David Cameron of sending Taurus missiles to the UK, so that London could deliver more of its Storm Shadow cruise missiles to Ukraine.
