The United Kingdom and Germany have announced that they will team up to produce a deep precision strike weapon with a range of over 2,000 kilometers 1,243 miles .the two countries may select one with hypersonic performance, which would make it considerably harder for hostile air defenses to intercept. it points again to a growing focus on long-range fire capabilities in Europe and may well ultimately have a significant effect on the strategic balance on the continent. The announcement about the new weapon was made yesterday in Berlin by German Minister of Defense Boris Pistorius and his British counterpart John Healey.
