There’ a very good reason that Storm Shadow has limited range. They intentionally limited it’s range to comply with export treaties. So fuck off with the same false narrative addressed a hundred times already.
Germany will not develop and produce range limiters (unlike the UK/France version that already has a restricted export model, there is none for Taurus) or break international laws by exporting them with the default range, just so the propaganda stops. Because we all know this will never happen and you will just instantly find the next item Germany is afraid to deliver because of big bad Putin or their love for Russia or their insane pacifism (or whereever the cyclical propaganda wave is at the moment).
Out of curiosity, which treaty is that? I’m not really sure how to find it myself.
Good question. I don’t remember them all either. Something about non-proliferation of missile technology above certain warhead sizes and range combinations (meaning they are capable to work as the carrier system for medium to long range nuclear or chemical weapons).
Is it the export version, or soon to be expired stock that would’ve been costly to decomission?
