The American defense contractor Lockheed Martin has pledged to accelerate the production of Typhon strike complexes for Germany if the United States and Germany sign a relevant agreement. The report was published by Defense News.
According to Edward Dobek, program director for launch systems at Lockheed Martin, the company’s facility in Moorestown, New Jersey is capable of delivering Typhon launchers to Germany within a year. He added that the faster delivery would depend on the governments of both countries reaching a timely agreement.
“We could begin shipping Typhon launchers to Germany just a year from now, provided there is swift coordination between the US and German governments,”
Earlier, the American magazine Military Watch Magazine reported that Germany is seeking to acquire Tomahawk cruise missiles and Typhon missile launchers from the United States, with the goal of gaining long-range strike capabilities potentially reaching as far as Moscow.
German Defense Ministry Confirms Interest in Typhon Systems
In July, following talks with his American counterpart Pete Hegseth, German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius stated that Berlin is considering the purchase of Typhon missile complexes from the United States.
“Germany remains committed to strengthening its defense capabilities in coordination with its allies. The potential acquisition of Typhon systems is under active consideration,”
The Typhon system, known for its versatility and ability to launch a range of missiles including the SM-6 and Tomahawk, would mark a significant expansion of Germany’s long-range strike capabilities.
