RAMPAGE
RAMPAGE is an Israeli supersonic air-to-ground precision missile developed for standoff attacks on high-value targets such as air-defense sites, command centers, air bases, storage facilities, and infrastructure. Derived from the EXTRA guided artillery rocket family, it gives fighter aircraft a fire-and-forget deep-strike weapon with GPS/INS guidance, anti-jamming features, and a steep terminal attack profile.

PavehLong-range land-attack cruise missilePaveh is an Iranian long-range land-attack cruise missile in the Project 351/Quds family, reported with a 1,650 km range and a turbojet propulsion layout. Open sources connect it to Iran's IRGC Aerospace Force missile arsenal, an April 2024 Iranian strike on Israel, Hezbollah truck-launch footage, and related Houthi Quds-4 systems used for long-range strikes toward Israel.
F-15I Ra'amTwo-seat long-range strike fighterThe F-15I Ra'am is Israel's customized two-seat Strike Eagle variant, combining Boeing/McDonnell Douglas airframe performance with Israeli avionics, electronic-warfare systems, and precision-strike integration. Its range, payload, and all-weather attack capability make it a central Israeli deep-strike aircraft, with directly documented use in recent operations against Iran, Hezbollah, and Houthi targets.
HoveyzehGround-launched land-attack cruise missileHoveyzeh is an Iranian ground-launched land-attack cruise missile in the Soumar/Kh-55-derived family. Unveiled in 2019 for delivery to the IRGC Aerospace Force, it is claimed to reach 1,350 km and is assessed by outside missile specialists as a long-range turbojet-powered strike weapon. In 2025 reporting on the Israel-Iran fighting, Al Jazeera cited Hoveyzeh as part of Iran's cruise-missile arsenal while discussing Iranian cruise-missile attacks against Israel..jpg?width=480)
Arash-2Long-range one-way attack UAV / loitering munitionThe Arash-2 is an Iranian long-range one-way attack UAV, also described as a loitering munition or suicide drone, associated with the Islamic Republic of Iran Army Ground Forces. Open sources describe it as a larger Arash/Kian-family strike system with rocket-assisted launch, reported passive-radar or seeker options, and claimed ranges up to about 2,000 km for attacks on fixed or emitting targets..jpg?width=480)
SoumarGround-launched land-attack cruise missileSoumar is an Iranian ground-launched land-attack cruise missile associated with the Meshkat/Soumar line and widely assessed as derived from the Soviet Kh-55. Open-source references describe it as a long-range cruise missile with a turbofan engine, a solid launch booster, and a disputed range estimate around the 2,000 km-plus class. Its later Hoveizeh and Abu Mahdi relatives show Iran's effort to field long-range cruise missiles alongside ballistic missiles and UAVs.
Ya-AliLand-attack cruise missileYa-Ali is an Iranian medium-range land-attack cruise missile associated with the IRGC Aerospace Force. Open sources describe it as a 700 km-class turbojet weapon, with Iranian media claiming a roughly 200 kg warhead and both ground-launch and aircraft-carriage options. Its public record is sparse, and analysts distinguish Ya-Ali from the smaller Quds missiles used by the Houthis in Yemen.Sources
