Germany successfully tests Israeli ballistic missile, officials say
Germany successfully tested an Israeli ballistic missile with a reported range of up to 500 km, officials said, to bolster long-range strike capabilities.
- On Wednesday, the German Navy successfully tested an Israeli-built LORA ballistic missile in the North Atlantic, marking a strategic milestone as Germany currently lacks ballistic missiles in its arsenal.
- Amid increased threats from Russia, officials conducted the trial to enhance defense capabilities, aligning with the German Navy's 'Marine 2035 and Beyond' plan to modernize long-range strike capabilities.
- With a range of up to 500 km , the LORA system outperforms Germany's current inventory of about 600 Taurus cruise missiles, providing enhanced sea-to-shore and sea-to-sea precision strike capabilities.
- Navy Chief Jan Christian Kaack called the trial a success, stating, "Our units can successfully deploy the system, and its potential range exceeds anything we have seen before," highlighting Germany-Israel partnership.
- Berlin remains engaged in multinational collaborations to develop long-range missiles while pursuing external procurement options to bolster maritime defense readiness as Western powers address security needs.
