Berlin seeks US approval for joint PAC-3/Tomahawk production in Europe

Germany is pushing for joint production with the US of PAC-3 missiles for Patriot systems and Tomahawk cruise missiles in Europe, with negotiations ongoing over US approval. This marks a significant step toward European defense industrial independence and deeper transatlantic defense integration. If approved, it would reduce European reliance on US-made munitions and bolster NATO's missile stockpile amid ongoing conflict in Ukraine.
