The Indian Air Force and Navy have bolstered their fleets with the induction of Rampage long-range supersonic air-to-ground missiles. Capable of targeting objects up to 250 kilometers away, the missiles, also known as High-Speed Low Drag-Mark 2, were utilized by the Israeli Air Force against Iranian targets. Integrated into Russian-origin aircraft and MiG-29K naval fighter jets, they provide capabilities to engage and eliminate communication centers or radar stations. The procurement, initiated after the 2020 China standoff, underscores India's focus on equipping its armed forces with critical weaponry. Plans for indigenous production and integration are underway.
