The Air and Space Force has issued a warning about military manoeuvres taking place in Lorca, which may generate perceptible sonic booms. The exercises are scheduled to run from the seventeenth to the twenty-seventh of November, each day from three thirty to five thirty in the afternoon, with no operations on weekends.

These manoeuvres are part of the Tactical Leadership Programme based in Albacete, which is preparing for flight course FC twenty twenty-five dash four. The exercises will include missions involving the use of air defence radar and the deployment of ground resources, such as trucks and all-terrain vehicles.

The authorities have authorised supersonic flight during the operations, which could result in intense noise despite implemented mitigation measures and existing restrictions for such drills. The Tactical Leadership Programme has confirmed that the Defence delegations, the regional government, and affected landowners have been informed and granted the necessary permissions for the exercises.

Furthermore, the programme ensures that all environmental regulations will be followed and that the area will be kept in excellent condition following the completion of the manoeuvres.
