The German Navy conducted covert trials of the Israeli "Lora" long-range missile system in the North Atlantic, the Shehab Wire reported. The tests appear to precede Germany's planned acquisition of the weapon and its integration into German military capabilities.
Germany has moved to expand its air defense arsenal in recent years amid evolving security concerns in Europe. The Lora system, which has an extended operational range, would add to Germany's existing missile inventory. The clandestine nature of the trials suggests Berlin sought to conduct testing before making public commitments to procurement, a common practice among defense ministries evaluating foreign weapons systems for potential purchase and deployment.
