Armament: German Navy successfully tests long-range missile

The German Navy has successfully tested the Israeli Lora missile system in the North Atlantic, with a Fregatte launching the missile. The test was previously kept secret, but the navy confirmed it was a success, with the missile having a range of over 500 kilometers. The German military is now planning to acquire the system as part of its efforts to strengthen its defenses and deter Russia, amid concerns over possible aggression.

The Lora system would complement the existing Taurus missile, also with a range of over 500 kilometers, and provide the German military with a new capability to strike land targets at long range.
