But now the missiles to supply the system are running out. Ahead of the G7 meeting of the foreign ministers, which will be held in a week’s time, German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock has flagged that Germany’s missile stockpiles are exhausted and that one must look to third countries for the possibilities of buying in more.
