The ICE BREAKER is described as a fifth-generation cruise missile with long range and exceptional accuracy, serving numerous international clients. The SUPER ICE expands the stand-off attack capabilities within this family, enabling more powerful strikes while maintaining compatibility with existing launch systems, mission planning, and logistics for all missiles in the family.
Rafael Chairman Prof. Yuval Steinitz stated that the SUPER ICE is the world's best cruise missile, ideal for counter-fire and destroying high-value targets, including air defense systems, from long distances. He added that the SUPER ICE continues Rafael's tradition, which began decades ago with the POPEYE missiles, showcasing engineering excellence, innovation, and long-term thinking. Steinitz emphasized that developing and manufacturing advanced technologies in Israel strengthens Rafael's position as Israel's premier cruise missile developer and a global leader in the field.
