France and Germany in talks with ArianeGroup on land‑based ballistic missile to close Europe’s deep‑strike gap
France and Germany are in preliminary talks with ArianeGroup to develop a conventional land‑based ballistic missile with reported ranges above 1,000 km; some outlets say it could carry hypersonic warheads and reach several thousand kilometres. The proposal is framed as a bid to close Europe’s deep‑strike capability gap.
