The Rampage, initially named MARS (Multi-purpose, Air-launched Rocket System), is an air-to-surface missile developed by Israel Military Industries and Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI) derived from the EXTRA. It is a standoff weapon designed to hit high-value targets such as radar installations, communications centers, weapons storage facilities and airfields.
The Rampage was officially unveiled in June 2018 and reportedly used for the first time in April 2019 in Syria. As of July 2023, the Royal Air Force is looking at using Rampage missiles after donating Storm Shadow missiles to Ukraine. Rampage missiles are believed to be cheaper than Storm Shadow missiles and are more readily available.
On 19 December 2024, the Israeli Air Force conducted airstrikes against the Houthis in Yemen with Rampage (mounted on F-16s) and the older Popeye (mounted on F-15s) missiles targeting ports and energy infrastructure at Sanaa.
The Indian Armed Forces first acquired the Rampage missile in the wake of the 2020 Galwan clash.
On 7 May 2025, India conducted Operation Sindoor against Pakistan; the Indian Air Force struck nine Pakistani sponsored terrorist camps across Pakistan in a coordinated, precision-led campaign causing extensive damage. Pakistani sponsored terrorist camps belonging to JeM and LeT in Bahawalpur and Muridke were extensively damaged using the Rampage missile as a part of the operation.
India used many Rampage missiles along with Brahmos and Storm Shadow on 10 May 2025, during Operation Sindoor continuation, where Indian Air Force Jaguar fighter bombers and Sukhoi Su-30MKI and MIG-29 fighters struck several Pakistani bases with the Rampage missile. The amount of damage is unknown as Sources did not reveal any meaningful information on the damage caused. Several Pakistani transport aircraft and hangars were hit, and many of these hits can be attributed to the Rampage. Following the conflict, the IAF has reportedly planned to acquire a larger fleet of the missile under a fast-track route. There is a possibility of the licensed production of the missile in India as well.
