Rafael presented a new cruise missile -. "Super Ice" This missile can be launched from ground launchers, from fighter planes in the air and from ships at sea.
According to information provided by Rafael, the missile travels stealthily, at a low altitude and over a long distance, and is not detected by radar due to its low flight height.
The rocket has a precise navigation system that does not depend on GPS. According to senior officials at Rafael, the missile will travel most of the way to its target undetected until shortly before impact - when it can no longer be intercepted.
Missiles of this type, from the "icebreaker" family, were introduced by Rafael several years ago. These missiles were used in secret attacks against Iran, when it was necessary to accurately and covertly hit distant targets, while the planes of the Israeli Air Force had not yet controlled Iranian airspace and carried out attacks outside Iranian airspace.
However, the new missile from the same series, which Rafael is introducing today, has a warhead four times stronger than those used in the attacks on Iran, and the warhead weighs 453 kg. This means the missile will be able to attack at longer distances while remaining stealthy and accurate, as well as having greater destructive power.
It can be assumed that this demonstration on Raphael's part is not accidental. As tensions rise again and the possibility of an attack on Iran remains pressing, each side is trying to intimidate by demonstrating advanced and new capabilities not used in previous conflicts.
Yesterday the Iranians also held a demonstration of their own - a new underground missile complex that houses a large number of ballistic missiles and cruise missiles.
