❗️Israeli arms firm unveils long-range SUPER ICE cruise missile for long-range strikes Israeli arms manufacturer Rafael Advanced Defense Systems has unveiled a new, long-range cruise missile dubbed "SUPER ICE" designed to penetrate advanced air defense networks and execute long-range strikes. According to a report by Hebrew daily Maariv, the development of the missile family was initiated in 2021 after former prime minister Naftali Bennett discovered that the Israeli military lacked operational plans and specialized munitions to strike Iran's nuclear infrastructure. In response, Bennett directed defense industries to accelerate the production of deep-strike capabilities, leading to the creation of the ICE system, a cruise missile deployable from air, land, and naval platforms. The upgraded SUPER ICE variant features an expanded range, higher speeds, and a 454-kilogram (1,000-pound) warhead. The report noted that earlier iterations of the ICE missile 'family' have already seen operational deployment in attacks on Iran, Syria, Lebanon, Yemen, and Qatar.
