• Luxembourg is considering long-range air and missile defense options.
• The country is discussing the SAMP/T Next Generation system with Eurosam.
• Luxembourg has historically relied on allied protection but seeks to strengthen its own air defense.
• The country is also evaluating European and US options for long-range systems.

Luxembourg's evaluation may indicate a growing interest in European alternatives to US-made systems, particularly as smaller states reassess their air defense needs amid a deteriorating security environment. The SAMP/T NG system's recent successes, including its selection by Denmark, may suggest a shift towards European solutions. However, the debate over European long-range air defense highlights persistent divisions over strategic autonomy and industrial priorities within Europe.
