Just for the record, Merz has not agreed to send Taurus to Ukraine, in fact doing that is not agreed on by a huge part of the coalition dominator SPD (thats the party that with 15% won last elections and now control the government and all money stuff). Scholz gave the range limitation as one alibi excuse why he would not send Taurus (range 500+ km), this "obstacle" now has been moved aside, but in fact was taken off the table by Western nations already months ago.

Taurus may or may not be delivered one day. And even if - the availability of Taurus in Germany is very limited, and Ukraine will never get the numbers needed to acchieve saturating tactical effect with it. So yes, it makes a loud Boom, and yes, it reaches farther than the other Western weapons so far - but it is neither a wonder weapon nor do I expect it to make a decisive change. Its just another Boom in this war's chorus.

The Kerch bridge is not that relevant anymore, too. Thinking they should waste several of these rare and thus: precious weapons to destroy it now, thinks three years too late. Railway around now Russian-held Mariupol has taken over the logistical relevance the bridge once had.
