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.

Already integrated with the Su-30 MKI, Jaguar, and MiG-29 fleets, the Rampage significantly boosts IAF's firepower alongside BrahMos missiles.

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.
