US land-based medium-range missiles are to be stationed in Germany again from 2026.

The IPPNW criticizes the decision to station medium-range weapons in Germany as extremely dangerous, as it makes Germany a possible strategic target. We miss the involvement of Parliament in this far-reaching decision. With the cruise missiles, rockets and hypersonic weapons planned from 2026, medium-range weapons capable of hitting targets far into Russia are to be stationed on German soil for the first time since 1991.

On July 10, a joint statement announced the stationing of US medium-range systems in Germany from 2026. These are strategic weapons that are only “suitable” for offensive purposes to destroy targets deep in Russian space. The plans thus risk increasing the danger of nuclear war, they could cause a new nuclear arms race and, last but not least, make Germany a high-value target in the new missile chess.
