India has approved the purchase of around 1,000 SPICE air-to-surface precision missiles from Israel’s Rafael.
The missiles allow Indian fighter jets to strike high-value targets from up to 100 kilometers away with very high accuracy, including in GPS-denied environments, reducing the risk from enemy air defenses.
The decision follows recent clashes with Pakistan, which highlighted India’s need for long-range, stand-off precision weapons.
The deal also reflects deepening India–Israel defense cooperation, with Israel remaining one of India’s most important suppliers of advanced military systems.
The Israeli weapon industry is surging.
