Germany has revived efforts to buy U.S.-made Tomahawk cruise missiles and Typhon ground launchers as Berlin pushes for stronger long-range strike capabilities amid rising global tensions. Reports say Germany first requested the systems in 2025, but the Trump administration has yet to approve the sale. The Typhon launcher can fire both Tomahawk and SM-6 missiles from land-based platforms, marking a major shift in Germany’s military posture. The renewed push comes as U.S. Tomahawk stockpiles were reportedly depleted during the Iran war, prompting Washington to ramp up missile production. German Defence Minister Boris Pistorius is expected to discuss the deal with U.S. Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth in Washington.
