Germany may order hundreds of Ukrainian bar missiles A joint Ukrainian-German venture that produces barrage cruise missiles in Germany may begin supplying them not only to Ukraine, but also to the German armed forces. The "Financial Times" reports on Berlin's plans to purchase these products, citing sources familiar with the preparation of the deal. According to the interlocutors of the publication, the parties expect to agree on the delivery of a small portion in the coming weeks. The Bundeswehr is scheduled to carry out technical tests in early 2027. If the results are positive, Germany will be able to order several hundred missiles. "Bars" is equipped with a jet engine, and the declared flight range reaches 1000 km. Depending on the modification, the device can carry a load of up to 105 kg. In Ukrainian terminology, such products are called "UAV missiles"; in Germany, they are called low-cost cruise missiles. The production site is already supplying weapons to Ukraine: in October, the first batch of missiles produced and paid for by Germany arrived there. However, FT does not specify the name of the venture and does not report where exactly it is located. Production is organized as part of the Build with Ukraine program, which was launched in 2025. Its mission is to transfer Ukrainian arms production to foreign sites, increase production capabilities and make it easier for developers to enter the markets of NATO countries.
