As part of its commitment to the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation, the United States will begin deploying long-range missiles in Germany in 2026, according to a joint statement.
The deployments are in preparation for the long-term stationing of the Standard Missile-6, Tomahawk cruise missiles, and hypersonic weapons with greater range than Europe’s present capabilities.
NATO officials met in Washington this week to commemorate the alliance’s 75th anniversary and to underscore their support to Ukraine as the Eastern European country resists Russia’s invasion.
Such missiles would have been banned under a 1988 treaty between the US and former Soviet Union, but the pact fell apart five years ago.
Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov said Moscow would react with a “military reponse to the new threat.”
The joint US-German statement made clear the “episodic” deployment of the missiles was initially seen as temporary but would later become permanent, as part of a US commitment to Nato and Europe’s “integrated deterrence.”
The temporary deployment of US weapons would give Nato allies the time to prepare, he explained: “We are talking here about an increasingly serious gap in capability in Europe.”
Long-range Missiles
Mr Pistorius joined colleagues from France, Italy and Poland on Thursday in signing a letter of intent aimed at developing long-range missiles in Europe. The European Long-Range Strike Approach (Elsa) was intended to improve European missile capability, which was “sorely needed to deter and defend our continent,” Italian news agency Ansa reported.
Such missiles were banned under the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces (INF), which was signed at the end of the Cold War and covered ground-launched missiles that could travel between 500-5,500 km (310-3,400 miles).
Russia’s Vladimir Putin felt it was too restrictive and in 2014 the US accused him of violating the pact with a new type of nuclear-capable cruise missile.
The US finally pulled out of the treaty in 2019, and Russia followed suit.
Politicians from Germany’s Greens were critical of Chancellor Olaf Scholz’s agreement to allow U.S missiles on German soil.
The Greens are part of Mr. Scholz’s ruling coalition, and their spokeswoman on security Sara Nanni made clear their frustration that he had made no comment about the decision.
“It can even heighten fears and leaves room for disinformation and incitement,” she told the Rheinische Post newspaper.
