What the German-made Taurus 'bunker buster' missile could give Ukraine

- The Taurus aviation cruise missile, known as the 'bunker buster' has the capability to penetrate air defences, delivering a deep hammer-like blow to the enemy.
With its dual-stage warhead system, the first part is designed to bust through deeply buried targets, delivering a fuse that delivers fragmentation damage at a specific level of a building or bunker.
Those calling for its delivery to Ukraine say that with a range of just over 310 miles, it will allow the targeting of Russian military infrastructure far behind the front lines.

The weapon that can count floors 😮
All those CRT monitors in that underground bunker will be hard to replace.
Bunker Busters can also sink most ships and a 4 Ton Tallboy Bunker Buster was used to sink a battleship during WW2.
Bunker busters now a days go through 50 feet of dirt and rock no trouble. A direct hit would mess up any ship. Even if it went right through and then detonated the gas bubble underneath the ship would mess it up.
Don't you think Russia has bunker buster weapons, The West is talking nonsense. Russia has already captured 20 to 30% of Ukraine. I guess the West wants Kiev to be flattened?
thsi sia joke is slower thana jet airplane...
One of them is worth 1 million €€€ Ukraine should use them wisely if it gets a few of them.
With that range and hitting power the Kerch bridge is toast. Would love to see it in Ukraine.
the kerch bridge is already toast once ukraine gets within launch distance with the storm shadow
Road *and* rail. 👍
@@eduwino151 GLSDB could also make it unusable and maybe drop a span if hit correctly.
@@braveworld2707 bridges are insanely strong you need something with a bigger bang to take it out in one hit
ukraine is toast nowadays
The official range of the Taurus is 500km and it's designed to be deployed from an aircraft. The distance between kiew and moscow is 762km. The distance between the ukrainian border and moscow is around 450km...
Ngl Implementation will be very difficult
Can't see them being useful unfortunately but Im open for surprises
I am still waiting for the Xfimea bridge to be targeted and destroyed. I thought storm shadows would do that.
Sssshhhh you want to let them think they have a way out then trap them !!!
Ukraine is better to leave the Crimean bridge intact. When they attack from the north the Russian orcs will be able to retreat and leave via the bridge. If they are trapped they will be forced to fight to save themselves. I think Russia is more likely to blow up that bridge in order to force their troops to fight. Let's see...
@@DanTube2010 I really disagree with that analysis. If the Russians had nowhere to go you'll offer them a chance to surrender otherwise you can maintain a blockade, stage a siege and starve them out or just wait for them to deplete their munitions.
@@DanTube2010 taking out the Kerch Bridge now would force the Russians to take the Land Bridge near where the Counteroffensive is happening now.
They will soon
There is no bunker buster without planes...
The Germans know bunkers better than anyone. In fact, during the final days of WWII, it is little-known to the wider world, but the leader of the country spent much time in a specially-built bunker. I bet the engineers looked at their grandfather's blueprints of bunkers to design a really great bomb. Thank you Germany for everything during the war, so far. And special thanks for allowing me to perform lame humor here on the CZcams comments section. SLAVA UKRAINI!
The Germans may have perfected the bunker but it was Wallis that perfected the earthquake with Grand Slam and Tallboy
Please explain: "led the way".
What could it bring? A big smile on Ukraine faces , and of course big hole in russian infostructure 😊
that kind of missile got putin writen all over it!:))
its not a missle and its slower than a jet airplanene
683 mph = 1100 km/h !!
South korea also bought the missile.
and Spain
Let's see if you can take out the bridge between Mainland Russia and Crimea with the KEPD-350 missile. The proper way to do it is using a kamikaze boat because sending it on a lorry bomb will not work because the bridge that will survive intact but not the boat as seen on October 9th 2022. The main command bunker underneath the Ural Mountains which might house Putin's dead hand weapon can survive the Storm Shadow and Taurus bunker Buster cruise missile. Requires a South Korean Hyunmoo 1-5 bunker Buster missile.
GBU-72
Fantastic 😊😊😊
Just the ticket for going after that smelly bridge!
Would it be possible to install a B61 nuclear warhead in a Taurus? I mean the weight should be possible.
That would mean a beast of a bunker buster.
I am wondering about that too
The radioactivity could mess with the high tech instruments.
Of course it could ... But hopefully not.
Ja, das können Sie!
@@jorgmuller461 wenn das stimmt, dann ist Deutschland mit der Kombination Eurofighter/Taurus doch zur nuklearen Teilhabe befähigt. Frage mich warum man dann so ein hickhack um die F35 als Tornado-Nachfolger macht. - Das Gewicht des B61 Nuklearsprengkopfes ist geringer als der Taurussprengkopf. Vielleicht macht man da in Deutschland ein Geheimnis draus analog zur Abrüstung nach dem WWI.
Two think UA need, Laser Guided 500/2000 lb glide bombs with small drones able to designate for destroying trench systems where you need pin point accuracy and GPS may be jammed and something better to clear mines better on the run (I don't think this exists though). They have the counter battery they need as we saw today with all those Masta's burning although more always helps.
Important support Ukraine as much as possible so Russia don't get more momentum
What it can do
Put Russian forces in a world of pain
They won't even be launched.
What could this missile bring to ukrain 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
Ooh ! I got it, MORE TREBLE THAN BEFORE 😂😂😂
TAURUS vs. Compet.
The main differences are in the warhead, range and electrics, where TAURUS is superior to all others. The TAURUS can also be used with the following "carriers": Eurofighter, Tornado, F-18 Hornet, F-15, Saab Gripen.....
Vertically-stacked bunkers might become a thing of the past, since "spiral-staircases" might prove less vulnerable.
Ukraine’s 1991 borders.
Irrelevant to anything.@@robertokandal
Its game changer.. tge prove is Ukraine already reach Crimea last night.. And above it.. Ukraine get this for FREE.. No need to pay a penny.
Imagine if Ukraine had some MOABs. Used at the front lines, Russians would retreat so fast.
Afaik MOAB has no long range deployability. Any plane that would try get in range to use it would be shot down by russian anti-air systems. Ukraine would first need air supremacy before being able to use any weapon like that
Imagine if Ukraine rebuilt it own military before this war and actually had proper military training and dint have greedy politicians who never put the economy money on the military and never went on media saying ready for war with Russia and wear nazi patch
Yes please
Send it yesterday.
Has Ukraine got any aircraft to launch it from? and how would it be integrated into old Russian
systems?🤔
Used roads and fix the airfield
they launch it with a fart.
This post represent IDIOCY at its best
Not hypersonic. Still deadly. Take note Russia!! 😅
Today germany said no taurus for ukraine 😏😏 ukraine should only surrender
Put Putin's name on it
Slava Ukraine 🇺🇦
🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
Nothing
Nothing because the German will not send it to Ukraine .
We here in britain support Vladimir Putin and Russia. Russia rules.
It's pretty much identical to Storm Shadow, but with a slightly shorter range (500km+ compared to 550km+.)
Seems a bit more penetration capabilities too.
@@guyb7995 nope, both Taurus and storm Shadow both have penetrating ability
@Wilhelm Eley By and large Storm Shadow doesn't need the 'floor counter. BROACH warhead will level the entire place.
@@Retrosicotte where did I say SS does not have penetrating ability?
That's no public information. Both of them are for sure capable to fly for a significant longer distance.
Ukraine’s 1991 borders.
No clear cut performance on German weapons so far.
Don't worry its a swedish design.
Again…. 3 month later… chancellor denied Taurus delivery to Ukrain. I am german. It is frustrating to see my Chancellor so weak…
He is playing against Ukrain and against western goal. He plays on lose-lose. Ukrain will lose east and Krim.
Another game changer 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
yeah and still your russian women spreading legs for German 🇩🇪 passport
Šta će biti sa Ramštajnom jednog dana? A, šta sa Frankfurtom na Majni? Švabe ništa nisu naučili iz 40-tih godina prošlog vijeka 😉
Another slow cruise missile easily shot down as long as it's detected soon enough. Russia may need to float dirigibles with radars or run AWACS 24/7
That's the point. Taurus flies low. VERY low. It follows the terrain. It can be detected, but then it's most often too late.
Taurus flies under the radar at over 1000 km/h at an altitude of 20 to 30 meters and is therefore very late for an enemy to detect. In addition, Turus does not need any external signals to navigate, which is why no electronic countermeasures are of any use. Likewise, most anti-aircraft missiles are not designed to engage targets flying so low to the ground.
Flying low doesn't get it past Pantsir or Tor point defense. It is still subsonic
@@2000toinfinity Both Russian anti-aircraft systems have a short range and the Taurus is guaranteed not to approach its target in a straight line over areas where anti-aircraft systems have been suspected or detected. Defeating the Taurus or Storm Shadow is definitely not impossible. Russia keeps reporting that it shot down almost all Storm Shadows, but evidence is lacking. Had Russia shot any, the rubble would have been put on display and used for propaganda purposes, guaranteed. However, since the effects of deep craters from storm shadow hits were evaluated by satellites, the Russian kill rate should be close to zero. Russia can certainly protect some objects with air defenses, but not all at the same time.
@@callsigndd9ls897 Taurus isn't guaranteed to not approach one of those systems, both are mobile, and both usually sit in the vicinity of of things Ukraine targets with cruise missiles. They have more evidence of downing storm shadows than you have that they didn't. They've acknowledged when Storm Shadow or HIMARS have gotten through and reached the target, they aren't hiding losses like the West does repeatedly for Ukraine. They've also repeatedly shown Storm Shadow wreckage and parts identifiable as storm shadow on the ground after intercepts.
Sorry Ukrain. We Germans have currently a weak government. We should deliver 100 to you very immediately…. But our Olaf Scholz needs always pressure to do the right thinks. To limit the range is typical German stupidity. I would trust the commitment of Ukrain. Sorry for our weak government and Olaf Scholz.
Germany is weak, and Scholz is to blame. Germany is a hindrance at this point.
Ukraine would used there on own bunkers blame it on Russia
That's definitely a Russian technique.
@@dts7824 nah. Ukraine oready try cause ww3 and attack Poland 2 times, fire missile at nuclear power station 2 times dint listen UN rules, committees war crimes and Zelensky is two face clown can’t be trusted, Ukraine soldiers not taking this war responsibility there always video everything and going on media dance at like clowns
FYI ukraine is Russian land.
FYI it's not.
so.. russian land is scythian land?
or why stop there.. lets just say all land belongs to monkeys.
always the same smoothbrain take of this land belonged to that state at that arbitrary point in history i just chose
It was part Soviet Union land like half Poland , thousands Ukraine is pro Russian who want part of Russia,
who say that? A Russian dog??
