Israel hit Iran with a half-ton supersonic ‘Rampage’ missile

Israel Used The ‘Rampage’ Missile During The Weekend Strike On An Iranian Military Base In Isfahan, Kan Reported. The Supersonic Missile Is Reportedly Designed To Strike Ground Targets Like Military Bases. On April 19, U.S. Media Reported An Israeli Missile Attack On A Military Base In Isfahan. However, Iran Downplayed The Incident, Saying No Israeli Missile Entered Its Airspace. Israel used a long-range, supersonic missile in its strike on Iran last week, Israeli broadcaster Kan reported, per The Times of Israel. US officials said Israel carried out a missile strike on a military base near the city of Isfahan on Friday. Israel has not confirmed the reports, while Iran has sought to downplay the incident, only referencing small drones used in the attack, which, in an interview with NBC News, its foreign minister Hossein Amirabdollahian said were “like toys our children play with.” While it remains unclear what weapons were used in the strike, Israel’s national broadcaster Kan reported that Israel used a “Rampage” air-to-surface missile, claiming it was identified in photos and that damage caused by the attack was consistent with a Rampage strike, per The Times of Israel. The Rampage was designed by Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI) for use against targets such as “communication and command centers, air forces bases, maintenance centers and infrastructure,” according to the company’s website. The company describes the missile, which weighs 1,250 pounds, as “a long-range, air-to-ground, seekerless, precision strike weapon.” Other reports, however, have pointed to another type of missile being used in the attack.
