Misiles crucero de EUA volverán a Alemania, indignando a Rusia

By Jordi Bou

July 12, 2024 - Rusia está preparada para tomar medidas militares en respuesta a la
decisión de EUA de desplegar misiles de largo alcance en Alemania por primera vez desde la década de 1980.

The U.S. and Germany said the “episodic deployments” were in preparation for longer-term stationing that would include SM-6, Tomahawk cruise missiles and hypersonic weapons with a longer range than current capabilities in Europe.

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 500-5,500km.

Russia’s President Vladimir Putin felt it was too restrictive and in 2014 the U.S. accused him of violating the pact with a new type of nuclear-capable cruise missile.

According to a U.S. military official, the weapons will include a new launcher called Typhon, which is a modified 40-foot shipping container that can conceal up to four missiles that rotate upward to fire.
