Rafael unveils Super Ice, a larger cruise missile with a 1,000-pound warhead

Rafael unveiled Super Ice, a new cruise missile that the company says will carry a 1,000-pound warhead and can be launched from air, land or sea. It is comparable in size to the US-made Tomahawk.

Super Ice joins Rafael's cruise missile family alongside Sea Breaker, introduced in 2021, and Ice Breaker, introduced in 2023, and is noticeably larger than both. Rafael calls it a "fifth-generation cruise missile" with extended range but has not disclosed the range, other than saying it is longer than its predecessors'. For comparison, Sea Breaker has a range of about 300 km and a 250-pound warhead.

According to the company, the missile has AI capabilities, low observability, high-accuracy image-matching navigation and low-altitude flight, and a promotional video described it as coping with electronic warfare and operating without GNSS. Rafael said it is MK83 compatible, meaning it can be carried by platforms that carry the MK83 bomb, and that it uses the existing launch systems of Sea Breaker and Ice Breaker.

Rafael chairman Yuval Steinitz called it the "best cruise missile of its kind in the world." The company did not tell Breaking Defense whether the system is operational, and no customers or price have been published.
