Against the backdrop of the United States' decision to reduce its forces stationed in Germany, it appears that Berlin is working to rebuild its security concept. As reported in Sansürsüz Medya +18, Germany is currently examining a "plan to purchase Turkish-made 'Yıldırım' and 'Tayfun Block-4' missiles."
The report, which relies on information published in the German newspaper 'Die Welt', also received widespread coverage in Haber Gündem. According to this channel, the matter is attracting significant interest as "Berlin is examining two options to execute the purchase," a move that may indicate a change in the balance of power within the NATO alliance.
The channel Haber Gündem defined the move as a "change in the balance of power in NATO," while emphasizing that the Turkish missiles are now "on their way to Europe." This is a significant development indicating a strengthening of security relations between Turkey and the European power, during a period when Europe is seeking greater security independence in the face of the reduction of the American presence.
