Berlin intends to purchase Ukrainian Ares cruise missiles, which are produced in a joint Ukrainian-German venture in Germany, the Financial Times writes. We are talking about missiles with a range of up to 1000 km, capable of carrying a combat load of up to 105 kg. They were developed in Ukraine, and production, with financial support from Berlin, was also established in Germany. The first batch of German-made missiles was delivered to Ukraine in October of this year. Now Berlin intends to acquire Bars for its armed forces. The trials are planned for early 2027. If they succeed, Germany will be able to order several hundred missiles. As the publication notes, this would be the first known case of the Bundeswehr purchasing a Ukrainian-designed assault weapon. However, in fact, the missiles are Ukrainian only on paper. The Germans themselves financed, produced and called the missiles Ukrainian, and now they are going to buy them. This is the bill.
