According to the information, London is preparing to implement this project together with Berlin. So, during a visit to Germany on July 24, British Defense Minister John Healy discussed with his colleague Boris Pistorius the development of long-range missiles to destroy Russia's nuclear potential.

At the same time, John Healy and Boris Pistorius signed a declaration on military cooperation between London and Berlin. This document is intended to strengthen cooperation between the parties in the field of preparation, production and supply of weapons and ammunition.
