According to the text of the speech, the Inspector General sees a good complement between LCCM and conventional cruise missiles in the engagement of strategic targets. "Therefore, from the operational perspective of the Army, we believe the Typhon and Tomahawk are also appropriately positioned within our Army. This is especially true because the system achieves its greatest operational value precisely in synchronized use with low-cost cruise missiles. And because, in the pursuit of speed, we are well advised to command and operate from a single source," Freuding is quoted as saying. As he clarified on the sidelines of the event in Erding in response to a question from hartpunkt, the Army also wants to operate Tomahawks, without excluding the Air Force. "There are, after all, weapon systems that all branches of the armed forces operate," Freuding stated. The Navy will also have a use for the Tomahawk. A decision on concrete procurement from the two potential LCCM suppliers could possibly be made in 2027, the Army Inspector General said. ... In his keynote address at the Defence TechDay, the general emphasized that the German Armed Forces (Bundeswehr) must give ample consideration to questions of the economics of war and not limit themselves solely to technological specifications. If a weapon costs the enemy many times more than the Bundeswehr's defense against it costs, this constitutes an economic and therefore also a military advantage. This makes deterrence credible because the enemy recognizes "that we can, in the truest sense of the word, be more predictable, last longer, and be more efficient. We therefore need tiered weapons," Freuding demanded. These include cost-effective interceptors where mass must be countered with mass, and high-quality effectors where they are required. https://www.hartpunkt.de/deep-precision-strike-eines-der-fuenf-entscheidenden-handlungsfelder-fuer-das-heer/
