TEL AVIV (Kashmir English): India is all set to procure Israeli Air LORA ballistic missiles and Rafael Advanced Defense Systems’ Ice Breaker cruise missiles, Israeli newspaper, The Jerusalem Post, reported.
The publication reported that Israel’s Ministry of Defense director general, Gen. Amir Baram, last week signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with his Indian counterpart Rajesh Kumar Singh for strengthening defense collaboration.
The report added that a delegation from the Indian Ministry of Defense has secretly visited Israel to reach defence agreements, paving the way to procure and manufacture Israel Aerospace Industries’ (IAI) Air Lora ballistic missiles and Rafael Advanced Defense Systems Ice Breaker cruise missiles.
As per details, the Air Lora missile, the Long Range Artillery Weapon, has a range of 400 kilometers, which enables combat aircraft to hit their targets without endangering themselves in the face of advanced air defenses.
The missile weighs 1,600 kilograms, flies at supersonic speeds, has a 400-kilometer range, and uses satellite navigation protected against disruption, the newspaper said.
Furthermore, it reported that India is also interested in the “Ice Breaker” cruise missile, which is designed for attacks at ranges of about 300 km against land and sea targets.
“The missile is effective in all weather conditions, can function well in environments saturated with electronic warfare, and has infrared (IIR)-based navigation and missile guidance capabilities, which, through AI, can acquire and identify targets,” it added.
