Sounds like a smart way to get around the stupid politics of providing Taurus, Germany and Ukraine co-producing new missiles, no range restrictions, Germany will also be buying these missiles from Ukraine too in the future, it is basically going to be Ukraine's "Taurus" made in Ukraine, partly funded by Germany, exported to Germany, Ukraine control.

But missile production takes years sadly, they should just straight up give Ukraine the entire spec sheets for Taurus, Lmao.

I'm sure that they have various parties helping that don't want to be named but I definitely agree on the part about getting around the messiness associated with the Taurus.  

Edit:    apparently, the new missile will be ready very soon
