About this report
Europe’s ability to generate long-range precision strike is becoming a central test of its defence-industrial maturity. The issue is not confined to the availability of missiles, launchers or one-way effectors.
It concerns the capacity of European states to translate a common operational requirement into funded programmes, harmonised specifications, coordinated procurement, defined industrial workshare and supply chains that remain under European political and technological control. The European Long-Range Strike Approach matters because it is positioned at this junction.
