Also known as
  • HSLD Mk 2
  • High-Speed Low Drag-Mark 2
  • HSLD Mk2

Rampage is an Israeli GPS/INS-guided supersonic air-to-ground standoff missile developed for long-range precision attacks on fixed or relocatable targets. Indian reporting in 2024 identified it as HSLD Mk 2 and named Su-30MKI, MiG-29, Jaguar, and MiG-29K carriers, while 2025 reporting tied the missile to Operation Sindoor strikes.

Design Notes

Rampage is easiest to understand as a standoff air-to-ground weapon that crossed from Israeli development into Indian service with a separate local designation.

Its compact square-section body and folding surfaces are tied to tactical-aircraft carriage, including Su-34, Su-35, and Su-57 launch contexts, while its guidance stack combines inertial, satellite, terrain-height, and electro-optical terminal inputs. The missile has been documented in Russian strikes during the 2014 Russia-Ukraine War, including the April 2024 destruction of the Trypilska thermal power plant.
