The only European manufacturer of ballistic missiles is looking for cooperation opportunities – this is overshadowed by a trail of failures(2)

The French ArianeGroup is exploring the possibility of producing fuel for its M51 ballistic missile in Germany, the sole ballistic missile manufactured within the European Union. The company’s consideration centers on a missile with a range of up to 2,000 kilometers. This move is occurring despite existing challenges with collaborative projects, including the sixth-generation fighter FCAS and the MGCS armored vehicle technology.

These ventures have highlighted the difficulties of achieving seamless cooperation, raising questions about whether this new undertaking will avoid similar pitfalls. The focus on fuel production is driven by its critical role in determining the weapon’s range and speed.
