French training personnel in country openly, followed by the Baltics (or vice versa) would make the German standpoint harder and harder to maintain.

While it is an open secret the Brits and French have been in country supporting storm shadow and scalp use.

So who knows.. let's see if the Germans order another batch of Taurus.

It doesn't really matter what other nations do in that regard. The German constitution forbids sending troops without a UN or NATO mandate. it's one of the post WW2 shackles. Besides that I don't think Ukraine even has any compatible platforms anyway, the Gripen might be if Sweden goes through with that one.

But regardless of all that, Taurus should get a new batch order either way to be honest. If there's only such a limited amount in working condition and they're this valuable, then we should probably prepare a little more.
