According to unconfirmed information from the Indian government, the fighter jets in India are equipped with the “Rampage” missile, manufactured in Israel by the Elbit company.
The press in India reports that missiles have been procured from Israel and some have even been delivered. The aim of the acquisition is to strengthen the Indian Air Force, especially against China.
The Israeli missiles will enable the Indian fighter jets to hit various targets, such as command centers, logistics sites, artillery batteries, enemy air force bases at great distances.
The great advantage of this Israeli missile is that it cannot be intercepted by anti-aircraft defenses. “This will benefit India”, was one issue in the local press.
Moreover, it was underlined that this missile will give India the ability to hit targets deep in Pakistan without having to cross the border, but also Chinese targets which will slip past their defense systems. .
The supersonic speed, integrated guidance system, inertial navigation system as well as GPS and other navigation systems, make the Israeli missile immune to weather disturbances and impossible to intercept. In addition, the system allows the missile to correct its flight path and hit its target with high accuracy.
Several Israeli Air Force fighter jets carry this high-performance missile.
