Israel's Rafael reveals massive new Super Ice cruise missile

Israeli defense contractor Rafael has debuted the 'Super Ice,' a new large cruise missile significantly bigger than its earlier models. The weapon carries a 1,000-pound warhead and can be launched from aircraft, ships, or ground units, offering military forces a flexible long-range strike option. It's designed to target hardened bunkers, ballistic missile sites, and large naval vessels.

The missile incorporates AI, low-observable stealth features, and advanced image-matching for precision navigation, even in GPS-denied environments. Rafael bills it as a 'strategic' fifth-generation weapon with extended range, though exact figures weren't released. This development strengthens Israel's position in the global defense export market, providing existing Sea Breaker and Ice Breaker customers with a more powerful upgrade path.
