A group of three German MPs have sent a letter to German Chancellor Olaf Scholz to demand the delivery of Taurus cruise missiles to Ukraine, Der Spiegel reported on Sept. 14. They argue that Ukraine needs the long-range missiles to "specifically weaken Russian war logistics" amidst the ongoing counteroffensive.

The taurus is a bunker buster not some cruise missile.

I think there is a misunderstanding. "Bunker buster" is describing a function of a weapon, independent from the weapon type. There are various different weapon types that have this ability.

"A bunker buster is a type of munition that is designed to penetrate hardened targets or targets buried deep underground, such as military bunkers." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bunker_buster
