Big cruise missile day in Europe.
1) Destinus revealed a 2,000-kilometer Block 3 variant of its Ruta air-launched cruise missile.
2) MBDA updated on its ground-launched Land Cruise Missile (Europe's closest Tomahawk equivalent), reportedly ready for order in 2029.
3) The German Air Force ordered another roughly 85-120 Joint Strike Missiles (JSM) from Kongsberg, following an initial order of approximately 185-260 from June 2025.
The building blocks for a sovereign European deep-strike industrial base are in place:
1. Order market-ready lighter systems from European suppliers now.
2. Accelerate development of heavy missile capabilities.
3. Work towards replacing critical American components in the European missile supply chain (the Williams International F-415 turbofan in the JSM being an obvious candidate).
4. Cooperate extensively with Ukraine.
European independence in deep strike is achievable. But it is a political, as much as an industrial question.
