BERLIN \u2014 Germany\u2019s parliament has authorized money for the purchase of thousands of missiles and the development of a supersonic naval cruise missile, according to a Defence Ministry news release. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Germany will join forces with Norway in developing the supersonic Tyrfing missile. A key parliamentary committee released the funds Wednesday for Berlin\u2019s first foray into developing modern naval missiles. Currently, most of the country\u2019s naval missile arsenal is French- or American-made. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although Norway and its state-owned arms manufacturer Kongsberg will take a leading role, the German government expects to contribute about \u20ac650 million (U.S. $695 million) to the project between now and 2033.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A new missile for Norway and Germany will be known as 3SM Tyrfing and is scheduled to be ready in 2035. (Kongsberg)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The contract, which is to conclude by August, will see Diehl Defence and MBDA perform work on the German side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At least initially, Germany\u2019s half will be funded from Chancellor Olaf Scholz\u2019s special fund for the military. That money was put together in the immediate aftermath of Russia\u2019s full-scale invasion of Ukraine<\/a> in February 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In later years, the money is to come out of the regular defense budget.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kongsberg describes the Tyrfing as a \u201cnew super missile\u201d that will succeed the Naval Strike Missile developed in the early 2000s. The 3SM \u2014 an abbreviation for Super Sonic Strike Missile \u2014 should be ready in 2035, the company said in a news release late last year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to Norway and Germany, Kongsberg hopes the missile will have export potential to other \u201cEuropean armed forces.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Weapons purchase<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

The German budgetary committee also approved the purchase of up to 3,266 Brimstone 3 rockets for delivery by 2033 under a contract expected to be passed by the parliament next month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Initially, the country will receive 274 missiles and the requisite equipment, purchased from MBDA Germany for about \u20ac376 million. An additional 29 Brimstones will be used for operational testing and 75 further for training and telemetry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The rockets are destined for the country\u2019s Eurofighter fleet, which forms the fighting backbone of its Air Force. Berlin first announced its intention to procure the air-to-ground missile in 2017.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The British Royal Air Force has used the Brimstone family of missiles for nearly two decades, including in war zones in Afghanistan, Iraq and Syria. A contingent of German Eurofighters is also deployed in the Baltics, where they serve to strengthen NATO\u2019s posture at its flank with Russia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aside from entirely new purchases, the parliamentary budget committee also approved the procurement of 506 Stinger man-portable air defense systems worth about \u20ac395 million as a replacement for 500 of the ground-to-air, shoulder-launched missiles that were sent to Ukraine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Germany has taken a leading role in supporting Kyiv\u2019s armament, sending more military support than any other country except the United States. According to the Germany-based Kiel Institute for the World Economy, the government has sent \u20ac10.2 billion in military aid to Ukraine as of the end of April 2024.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
