Citat:Airbus Defence has recently unveiled a special paint scheme for a German Air Force Tornado IDS, commemorating the 50th anniversary of the Tornado aircraft's first flight.
Bunker Buster - The German Taurus Cruise Missile and Its Capabilities
The name Taurus is an acronym for Target Adaptive Unitary and Dispenser Robotic Ubiquity System. The Taurus cruise missile is composed of three sections, with the nose handling navigation and guidance, the central section carrying the penetrator and tanks, and the tail section containing the engine. The German Air Force deploys the Taurus from the Tornado fighter bomber system, which is being phased out by 2030. The cruise missile has a range of over 500 kilometers and can autonomously fly to the target using four navigation systems. Its tremendous penetrating power makes it ideal for heavily protected targets such as bunkers or headquarters. The Taurus is also suited for targeting infrastructure such as aircraft shelters or bridges. After the Tornadoes have been retired, the Eurofighter will serve as the carrier aircraft. Each cruise missile costs around €1 million.
