The Indian Air Force (IAF) has officially confirmed the operational use of Israeli-made Rampage missiles on its Su-30MKI fighter jets during Operation Sindoor, marking a significant leap in Indiaโ€™s precision strike capabilities.

The announcement was made by Air Marshal A.P. Singh during a media briefing, where he emphasized that the integration of the Rampage missile onto the Su-30MKI platform represents a major milestone in IAFโ€™s long-range strike readiness.

The IAF also released a short video captured via pilot helmet cameras, showcasing the moment a Su-30MKI launched the 570-kg Rampage missile from its wing-mounted pylon over the Himalayan sector. The footage features the radio call โ€œFox Three โ€“ Rampage Away,โ€ followed by the missileโ€™s guided flight toward a simulated enemy command bunker, ending in multiple secondary explosions upon impact.

An IAF official confirmed that this marks the first operational use of the Rampage on Su-30MKIs. The missileโ€™s integration was made possible through software and avionics upgrades developed by the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO), ensuring compatibility with the aircraftโ€™s AL-31FP engine and digital fire control systems.

Earlier, the Rampage missile was operational with IAFโ€™s Jaguar DARIN-III strike aircraft and MiG-29K carrier-based fighters. On the Jaguars, it was employed for deep-strike missions targeting strategic enemy assets, while on the MiG-29K, it served in anti-ship roles. Integrating it with the larger Su-30MKI required structural reinforcements and system recalibrations to handle the missileโ€™s load and flight dynamics.

India had initially procured Rampage missiles from Israel between 2020 and 2021, amid rising tensions with China. Since then, the weapon has become a cornerstone of the IAFโ€™s modernization efforts, enhancing its ability to conduct precision, stand-off strikes under adverse conditions.

Sources indicate that India is now exploring local production of the Rampage missile under the โ€œMade in Indiaโ€ initiative, following the success of indigenous BrahMos missile manufacturing. Such a move would boost domestic defence capabilities and ensure self-reliance in critical weapon systems.
