IAF Jaguars Spotted Equipped with 200km-Range Israeli Rampage Missiles, Suggesting Possible Integration

In a recent development, Indian Air Force (IAF) Jaguar strike aircraft have been observed carrying two Israeli-made Rampage air-to-surface missiles. This sighting indicates a potential integration of this advanced weapon system onto the Jaguar platform, bolstering the IAF's offensive capabilities.

The Rampage missile, known for its high speed and low drag characteristics, has already undergone successful testing on Sukhoi-30MKI and MiG-29K aircraft. Its integration onto Jaguar jets signifies a broader adoption of this potent weapon system within the IAF. The missile's range of 200 kilometers offers a considerable enhancement to the IAF's strike range and precision.

Plans are underway for local manufacturing of the Rampage missile in India under a technology transfer agreement with the Israeli manufacturer, further solidifying India's self-reliance in defense production. The Aircraft Systems and Testing Establishment (ASTE) has been instrumental in facilitating the integration of newer weapons onto IAF fighter jets, playing a crucial role in ensuring their seamless operation.

The addition of the Rampage missile to the Jaguar fleet signifies a significant stride towards enhancing India's air power and preparedness for future challenges.

why not develop Rampage like Missile Indigenously why still Screw driver work continuing 9ASRAAM /Rampage ) Their was news of claiming Missile can b developed within 3 to 4 years

Good to use them as a Kamikaze drone until somebody down them with a sling.

Because it would still take 3 to 4 years and then LRIP before mass manufacturing

We're still quite underarmed now, plus there's a tech transfer coming with this that will accelerate our own missiles

when they can develop 5.5 gen jet in 4 years, they can do this too.

Against MANPADs these jaguars are useless than hype...

Buy 50 Su 57 and 50 Rafael M and Rafael 4.1 urgently otherwise even bangladesh nepal and srilanka won't fear to Attack india

I don't know if it is really 'modernization' if it is integrated with an old platform. Jaguar has a large radar signature and not very fast. It is vulnerable to ground to air or AA missile attack. IAF has installed electronic counter measures on it, but it is still a 40 year old design.

We are developing a variant of the rudram missile that will turn it into a normal air to surface missile.

 

[Sandeep]

Currently we need to focus on quickly developing our own indigenous missiles as soon as possible so we can stop importing expensive foreign missiles. We are developing a variant of the rudram missile that will turn it into a normal air to surface missile which is showing progress but we need it done as soon as possible. The jaguar jet is old but its equipment isn’t that old as we upgraded some of them to the Darin 3 upgrade with a new radar and weapons package. This jet is only useful in hitting targets where we control the sky completely.

Neither of those nations can or will attack India. Sri Lanka still isn't out of that economic crisis, and India played a large role in helping them. Nepal is, in essence, powerless. Bangladesh knows they would have a repeat of 1971 if they try something against India.
