The Anthem missile is designed to be cheaper and easier to mass-p roduce than existing systems, reflecting a growing belief that future conflicts may require far larger stockpiles. Reports suggest Germany's Bundeswehr might want to purchase the missile. As Berlin and its allies rethink deterrence after the war in Ukraine, is the era of mass-produced long-range missiles just beginning?
