Big worry for US, China as Modi govt plans to but THESE two missiles from…, it will make India…
India’s Brahmos, Scalp and Rampage missiles caused tremendous destruction in the recent tension with Pakistan. This success has inspired India to buy even more powerful missiles.
The Indian Air Force is testing two Israeli cruise missiles – Wind Demon and Ice Breaker. According to a report by Defense Security Asia, these missiles can be purchased for deep strike against Pakistan. They have been made by Israel Aerospace Industries and Rafael.
India wants missiles that can destroy enemy targets from a safe distance. Wind Demon and Ice Breaker can destroy high-value targets by dodging enemy air defence. These missiles save pilots and aircraft from risk.
The excellent performance of the Rampage missile against Pakistan has impressed the Indian Air Force. This supersonic missile can hit hard targets from a safe distance. After its success, India and Israel are keen to buy the missile.
The Wind Demon missile is light but deadly, with a range of 200 km and weighing 140 kg. It flies at a low altitude to avoid enemy radar and hits the target accurately. Its AI and laser guidance system makes it special.
The operator can control the Wind Demon in real time, even changing targets between missions. Its 20-kilogram warhead can explode or cause deep damage depending on the mission. The missile is designed for jets like the F-16 and Rafale.
The Ice Breaker missile can be launched from land, sea and air with a range of 300 kilometres. It destroys radars, mobile missile batteries and ships with precision. Its 105-kg warhead makes it versatile.
Icebreaker has AI based target recognition and multi-sensor technology, which helps it succeed even in complex warfare. It does not miss the target even if GPS is blocked. Its ability to be launched from F-15, Rafale and coastal batteries makes it different.
There is deep cooperation between India and Israel in defense, which includes technologies like Barak-8, Spider and drones. The deal for Wind Demon and Ice Breaker can be done under India’s Make in India policy. This will further strengthen the relations between the two countries.
If India adds Wind Demon and Ice Breaker to its fleet, Pakistan and China may lose their sleep. These missiles will increase India’s deep-strike capability manifold. The IAF aims to start their integration by 2026.
