Israel hit Iran with a 1/2 ton supersonic 'Rampage' missile, report says
-
Israel used a "Rampage" missile in its strike on Iran, Israeli media reported.
-
The supersonic missile is designed to strike ground targets such as military bases.
-
Its manufacturer describes it as "a long-range, air-to-ground" missile.
The Rampage missile was designed by Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI) for use against targets such as "communication and command centers, air forces bases, maintenance centers and infrastructure," according to the company's website.
The company describes the missile, which weighs 1,250 pounds, as "a long-range, air-to-ground, seekerless, precision strike weapon."
It has the ability to fly at 1,250 mph with a range of up to 190 miles.
It can be fired from an aircraft or as a stand-alone system and uses GPS/INS guidance navigation and anti-jamming capabilities, it adds.
The Rampage is considered an economical alternative costing hundreds of thousands of dollars versus the $3 million cost of each Storm Shadow, reported The National.
