TAURUS KEPD 350, Stand-off cruise missile, MunitionsTAURUS KEPD 350Stand-off cruise missileBuilt in: Germany / SwedenTAURUS KEPD 350 is a German-Swedish air-launched stand-off cruise missile built by TAURUS Systems, the MBDA Deutschland and Saab Dynamics joint venture, for precision strikes against hardened, buried, and other high-value targets. Official sources describe a 500 km-plus weapon with low-level terrain-following navigation, GPS-independent attack modes, and a 481 kg MEPHISTO tandem warhead; public evidence supports carrier and operator context but not confirmed wartime delivery or use, so this catalog entry remains relationship-only.
