Defense projects: German Navy successfully tests long-range missile

The German Navy has successfully tested the Israeli Lora missile system in the North Atlantic, with a frigate launching the missile from a secret location between Ireland and Iceland. The test was part of plans to acquire the system, which has a range of over 500 kilometers, to enhance the Navy's capabilities. The Lora system, developed by Israel Aerospace Industries, is a ballistic missile that can be launched from ships and is capable of hitting strategic targets deep in enemy territory.

The test was seen as a significant milestone in Germany's efforts to bolster its defenses, particularly in the face of growing concerns about Russian aggression. The German Navy plans to use the Lora system, along with other systems like the Taurus cruise missile, to expand its ability to strike targets at long range.
