Russia has promised a military response - Should NATO be worried? | DW News

The United States will begin stationing long-range missiles in Germany from 2026. Washington and Berlin say the deployment cements their commitment to NATO and European defense. The agreement includes Tomahawk, SM-6, and hypersonic missiles.

The weapons are nuclear-capable and have a range of more than two thousand kilometers. They were banned under a treaty with Russia until the US withdrew from that treaty five years ago.

German Chancellor Olaf Scholz welcomed the decision.
