MBDA Taurus KEPD 350

The Taurus KEPD 350 is an air-launched cruise missile developed in Germany and Sweden for precision attacks on hardened and high-value ground targets. It is manufactured by Taurus Systems, a partnership between MBDA Deutschland and Saab Bofors Dynamics, and MBDA lists it among its deep strike products. The missile uses a turbofan engine and flies a terrain-hugging path steered by inertial, image-based, terrain-referenced and satellite navigation. Its dual-stage warhead, called MEPHISTO, first clears soil or enters a bunker and then detonates the main charge after a variable delay. The stated range is more than 500 kilometres. Germany, Spain and South Korea use it from Tornado, Eurofighter, Hornet and F-15K aircraft, and a successor called Taurus Neo was approved for Germany in December 2025.
