Jerusalem: Israel’s Defense Ministry signed a 260-million-U.S. dollar contract with Israeli defense electronics firm Elbit Systems to supply advanced airborne munitions to the Israeli army, both sides announced Monday in separate statements.

The deal includes an upgraded version of the Rampage, a long-range, supersonic, air-to-ground precision missile, capable of striking targets like air force bases, munitions depots, bunkers, and communication facilities, according to Israeli news website Ynet and business newspaper Calcalist.

The missile features satellite navigation and “fire-and-forget” guidance, among others.
Manufacturing will take place at Elbit’s facilities in Israel, which have operated at surge capacity since the outbreak of the multi-front conflict in October 2023 to meet wartime demand, said the Defense Ministry.

This procurement is part of Israel’s strategy to bolster domestic defense production amid export restrictions imposed by several countries during the multi-front conflict, most recently by Germany.
