Why Germany hesitates to send out Taurus projectiles to Ukraine

.FOR MONTHS Olaf Scholz, Germany's chancellor, has stood up to domestic and global pressure to supply Ukraine with German-made Taurus cruise ship rockets, an exact, long-range munition. Hopeless to help a more and more beleaguered Ukraine, some allies have cooked up clever programs to help modify Germany's thoughts. David Cameron, Britain's foreign secretary, has actually prompted his openness to a program that will view Germany deliver Taurus projectiles to Britain, therefore allowing Britain to send additional of its Tornado Vestige cruise projectiles to Ukraine. Yet Mr Scholz refuses to budge. What are actually Taurus projectiles-- and why is the German government thus reluctant to deliver them to Ukraine?
