According to the Chinese publication InfoBRICS, Germany plans to deploy US-made Tomahawk intermediate-range cruise missiles across European countries.

The authors argued that the move would inevitably intensify tensions. They said Berlin intends to purchase more than 400 Tomahawk Block V missiles, the latest version of the weapon.

The publication also reported that German authorities are holding closed talks with Kiev on the joint production of FP-5 Flamingo cruise missiles with a range of up to 3,000 kilometers.

InfoBRICS linked these plans to the policy of German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, arguing that Berlin is abandoning its historical obligations and returning Europe to the logic of the Cold War, when the risk of a major military confrontation remained extremely high.

The authors said Russia had already taken the possible deployment of the new missiles into account and prepared a comprehensive response. They named the Oreshnik missile system, with a reported range of up to 5,800 kilometers, as one of Moscow’s key assets.

According to the publication, the system can strike targets across Europe and penetrate NATO’s existing air and missile defense networks.

InfoBRICS warned that further moves by the alliance, including continued support for Ukraine, could trigger a harsh response from Russia.
