Rafael presents L-Spike loitering weapons for use with existing Spike missile launchers

Rafael presented its L-Spike family of loitering weapons to existing Spike operators during the 21st Spike Users Club meeting in Larnaca, Cyprus. The weapons are intended to work with legacy Spike launchers, adding loitering capability while retaining established training, support and operational knowledge-sharing arrangements. Hosted by the Cyprus National Guard, the meeting brought together more than 200 participants from 23 countries, with Rafael reporting a worldwide Spike customer base of approximately 48 nations. Rafael and EuroSpike are also expanding production capacity across the programme's 13 global lines, but the presentation did not announce a specific L-Spike procurement or delivery schedule.
