The Taurus KEPD-350 missile, which Germany may send to Ukraine, is considered to be one of the most modern weapon systems in use by the German military, the Bundeswehr.
The missile is 5 meters long (16.4 feet), weighs 1.4 tons and is fired from the air by fighter jets. It then travels at speeds of up to 1,170 kilometers per hour (727 miles per hour) — that's almost the speed of sound — to find a target that can be as far as 500 kilometers (310 miles) away.
This long-range missile flies at an altitude of only 35 meters, which makes it almost impossible for radar systems to detect.
