Where will Taurus get: blows deep into Russia, avoiding radar and air defense systems

It also means that there are no more restrictions on the weapon we are supplying. Ukraine can now protect itself by attacking military positions in Russia," Merrt said. As early as 2024, the United Kingdom and France allowed Storm Shadow and Scalp-EG for Russian military targets. The United States, in turn, followed the gradual removal of restrictions: since May 2024 - for GMLRS (up to 70 km), and from November - for long -range ATACMS (up to 300 km).

At that time, this was due to the participation of North Korean troops in battles in Russia and the intensification of hostilities in the Kursk region. Now, when it comes to the possible transmission of Taurus, Ukraine will potentially receive a weapon capable of striking targets in the deep rear of the enemy - command points, logistics units, aerodromes and warehouses.

Taurus Kepd 350/150 is the Air-Earth's Aviation Winglata, developed by the German DASA (now Airbus part) together with the Swedish Bors. It is intended for the destruction of critically important objects in a deeply echelorated defensive territory of the enemy - from command points and concrete shelters to SPRs and air defense systems.

The rocket is programmed before starting, capable of maneuvering in the air, bypassing the air defense zones, and attacking the target at a certain angle or delaying the blast. Among its key characteristics: weapons have several modifications, which differ in base and different "stuffing" of the combat part, to defeat exceptional objects.

For example: a rocket uses an inertial navigation system (INS), satellite navigation (GPS), digital relief maps, and optical correction to achieve high precision. The basis is the combined complex of TRN + TerRPROM (Terrain ReferenCed Navigation + Terrain Profile Matching), which provides flight at little heights, with the disgusting of the terrain.

This combination allows the rocket to fly at small and low altitudes, avoiding enemy radars and air defense systems, as well as adjusting the course without GPS, which is critical in the conditions of radio electronic wrestling. Thus, Taurus combines farming, secrecy and high accuracy. In addition, unlike HIMARS and ATACMS, which are limited by the number of starting installations, Taurus can be integrated into Western aircraft-first of all, the F-16 fighter in air Ukraine.

As GMLRS and Storm Shadow's combat use shows, even limited blows to warehouses and bridges in the occupied territories cause serious damage to the enemy's logistics. The Taurus missiles with their range of 500 km can dramatically change the rules of the game, for example, causing strokes on the Crimean bridge, airfields of longitudinal aviation and command centers in the depths of Russia.
