"Rampage": Israel's New Ballistic Missile Is One Fierce Weapon
The Rampage first broke cover in the summer of 2018.

Key Point: With Rampage, the Israeli air force has joined a slowly growing number of air arms developing ALBMs for non-nuclear attacks.
Israel reportedly used in combat for the first time a new kind of fast, long-range missile.
According to aviation journalist Babak Taghvaee, on April 13, 2019 Israeli air force warplanes fired, for the first time, at least one Rampage air-launched ballistic missile at a missile factory and weapons warehouses in Masyaf, Syria.
The Israelis chose to deploy Rampage “due to the danger of Syria Air Defense Force's S-300PM-2s,†Taghvaee tweeted. The S-300 surface-to-air missile, in theory, can intercept aircraft flying as far as 120 miles away.
