The Indian Air Force (IAF) is set to place large orders for Israeli Rampage air-to-ground missiles after their proven success in strikes on Pakistani terrorist hubs and air bases, news agency ANI reported .
The missiles, known in India as the High-Speed Low Drag-Mark 2, were reportedly used with high precision in operations against targets in Muridke and Bahawalpur.
The order for the missiles is likely to be soon placed under the fast-track procedures.
First acquired in 2020–21, the Rampage gained prominence during Operation Sindoor when Su-30 jets deployed it against deep Pakistani targets.
The IAF is now exploring domestic production under the Make in India initiative to enable larger-scale induction.
