Rafael unveils SUPER ICE, new long-range cruise missile capable of launching from air, land and sea

Computer-generated aircraft, military bases and naval vessels illustrate Rafael's new Super Ice cruise missile in an i24NEWS English report. The images are promotional animations, not footage of the weapon being used in combat.

The report drew about 56,000 views in its first twelve hours, far beyond the channel's usual first-day audience for Shorts. Its subject is a missile designed for launch from aircraft, ground platforms and ships, with the narrator describing compatibility with F-35, F-16 and F-15 fighter jets without major modifications.

Presented as a successor to Rafael's Ice Breaker, Super Ice carries a 1,000-pound warhead, according to the report. The account emphasizes low-altitude terrain following, autonomous navigation and electro-optical guidance that uses image matching. Those are the capabilities being described; the animated strikes illustrate the weapon's intended uses rather than demonstrate its performance.

The narrator also describes Rafael's interest in European and Asian defense markets and says the missile is expected to become operational in early 2027. That puts the unveiling ahead of its anticipated entry into service.

A separate i24NEWS English report about Arab Members of Knesset backing an opposition plan to establish parliamentary panels also drew an unusually large early audience. The channel's standout uploads span both military technology and the parliamentary maneuvering covered in its earlier election broadcasts.
