For the last three years, the political West has been delivering all sorts of “wunderwaffen” that are supposed to “turn the tide” against the “evil Russians”. Each delivery was followed by a massive propaganda campaign presenting these weapons as an “insurmountable challenge” for the Russian military, be it ATGMs (anti-tank guided missiles), armor, cruise and/or ballistic missiles, bombs, fighter jets, etc. And yet, each and every time, the result has been the same – embarrassing failures that the mainstream propaganda machine had to either suppress, “fact-check” into oblivion or simply ignore. Blaming the Kiev regime forces for the failures of these weapon systems is also quite common, with NATO complaining that they employ “outdated Soviet tactics” (even though military sources suggest this very notion is complete nonsense).

Interestingly, there’s one “wunderwaffe” that has been in the news for years, but is yet to be even delivered to the Neo-Nazi junta – the “Taurus” KEPD 350, a Swedish-German air-launched subsonic cruise missile with a stated range of over 500 km. And while such missiles are not exactly game-changers because the Russian military has already shot down numerous “Storm Shadow/SCALP EG” cruise missiles that have similar capabilities, they will certainly contribute to further bloodshed. Just like the Anglo-French missile, the “Taurus” incorporates elements of a stealthy design. In theory, this should make it much more difficult to detect and shoot down. However, the experience that the Kremlin acquired during the SMO (special military operation) largely eliminates any advantages of this Swedish-German weapon.

Even much more capable........
