German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius is planning to go to Washington to promote Berlin's proposal to buy long-range systems. This proposal was first sent by Germany in July last year, but the US has not yet responded.

The Tomahawk ground attack missile is a long-range cruise missile, usually launched from the sea to attack targets in missions to penetrate deep into enemy territory.
In February this year, the Pentagon said it had signed a 7-year contract with Raytheon to increase Tomahawk missile production amid a decrease in stockpiles of this type of weapon due to the Iranian conflict.
