Rafael Unveils Super Ice Cruise Missile with 1,000-Lb Warhead
Rafael says the new missile is designed to penetrate air defenses and hit fortified targets, with orders for more than 1,000 Ice Breakers in 2024.
- On Tuesday, Rafael unveiled "Super Ice," a next-generation cruise missile featuring a 1,000-pound warhead that expands the company's precision-guided Ice Breaker family.
- Designed to exceed the original Ice Breaker's capabilities, Super Ice carries a 1,000-pound payload compared to the earlier 250-pound version and is compatible with Israel's F-35, F-16, and F-15 jets.
- Rafael reported the missile "supports multiple launch platforms across air, land, and sea, providing maximum operational flexibility," incorporating autonomous navigation and high-precision image-matching technology.
- Senior Vice President and Head of Rafael's Air Systems Division Gad Geva said the missile offers "an operationally effective and cost-efficient solution," with operational deployment expected in early 2027.
- Orders for more than 1,000 missiles received in 2024 generated more than $1 billion in revenue for the Ice Breaker family, positioning the system to appeal to nations seeking deterrence against Russian expansionism or China.
