At the end of last year, there was information about India's intention to purchase Israeli Rampage missiles. It seems that deliveries have already begun.

Here's What We Know

Last week a photograph of a Rampage missile was published. The location of the photo is Hansa Airbase (Hansa), which is the home of the Indian Navy's flight test squadron. A MiG-29K fighter can be seen in the background, although it was originally said that the Israeli missiles would be carried by Su-30MKI aircraft.

Rampage was developed by Elbit Systems and Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI). IAI is the primary manufacturer. The 4.7 metre long munition is equipped with a 150 kg warhead and has a launch range of over 250 km, but this parameter depends on the speed of the carrier.

Rampage is an aeroballistic missile, i.e. an air-launched ballistic missile. A similar solution is the Russian development of the Kh-47M2. In case of Rampage, the EXTRA ballistic missile is taken as a basis.
