Rafael Unveils Super Ice Long-Range Cruise Missile with Quadruple Warhead
Rafael has unveiled the Super Ice, a long-range cruise missile featuring a warhead four times larger than the Ice Breaker, designed for precision strikes across land and sea.
Rafael Advanced Defense Systems has unveiled the Super Ice, an advanced, long-range cruise missile representing the next generation of the Ice Breaker family. The new weapon features a warhead four times larger than its predecessor and is designed to destroy high-value strategic targets on land and at sea.
Operational Flexibility and Stealth
The missile is engineered as a multi-domain system capable of being launched from fighter jets, naval vessels, and mobile ground launchers without requiring significant structural modifications to the aircraft. While nearly twice the size of the original Ice Breaker, its structural design maintains optimal dimensions and weight. The missile relies on low-altitude flight, utilizing natural terrain masking such as valleys and mountainous terrain to evade radar detection.
Precision and Industrial Independence
A senior Rafael official noted that the system employs advanced electro-optical guidance and jam-resistant navigation, enabling simultaneous multi-directional strikes. Rafael emphasizes complete in-house manufacturing independence, ensuring uninterrupted supply chains and resilience against external embargoes or wartime restrictions.
