Rafael Advanced Defense Systems unveiled a new, ‘fifth-generation', long-range, autonomous air-launched, air-breathing precision-guided air-to-surface missile system on 12 July.

Characterised by Rafael as ‘an aerial and artillery unit force multiplier', Ice Breaker is a day/night all-weather weapon system intended for use with a range of aerial platforms including fast jets, light attack aircraft, and rotary-wing platforms against a variety of high-value stationary or moving targets in both land and maritime domains. The new effector is optimised for deep strike operations, where precision is required in arenas protected by advanced electronic warfare, anti-access/area-denial (A2/AD), and Global Positioning System/Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GPS/GNSS) jam and denial systems.
