Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI) announced on 2 June that it has completed a dual operational firing trial of its Long-Range Artillery Weapon System (LORA).

The test was carried out in an area of open sea and included the launch of two of the precision-strike tactical ballistic missiles.

Two different operational scenarios were involved. The first saw LORA fired at a target located approximately 90km for its launch position, whilst the second scenario struck a target 400km away. Both targets were successfully hit.

LORA is a sea-to-ground and ground-to-ground missile system which comprises a ballistic missile, missile launcher, C2 system and a ground/marine support system.

Each LORA missile weighs 1.8t and is 5.2m in length, according to Shephard Defence Insight.
