Pretty sure Storm Shadow and SCALP both use data like that as well to guide the missiles, maybe not as sophisticated as Taurus but still the same idea. Does make me wonder if Storm Shadow has been blocked on being used on Kerch Bridge as well. I wouldn't be surprised if West has an attitude of "Kerch Bridge was built by Russians so it counts as Russian territory so nothing we send is allowed to be used on it" and if that were to be the case then the Kerch Bridge is never going down.

I've edited my post already. Scholz believes (if that info is correct) that France and UK are "allowed" to be more involved as Germany so that German soldiers aren't allowed to program Taurus with topographic data while those from UK and France are allowed to use them for their cruise missiles. 

Not sure if he believes that because of WW2 but wouldn't be surprised if that's the reason even if that has nothing to do with this war in 2023.

Makes no sense to me, Lol.

But yeah, it's probably holdover fear from WW2...Germany needs to move past that or they will always be exactly where Russia wants them, too afraid to do the right thing...Is this a big thing in Germany cause I've sort of heard similar sentiment from other Germans, almost like a fear of your own military power...
