The Israeli company Rafael has completed the development and is preparing for mass production of the Ice Breaker anti-ship missile (Icebreaker) of the air-to-surface type.
It was created on the basis of the Sea Breaker RCC, which has the ability to launch both from land and from ships.
- the developer explained.
Allegedly, Ice Breaker is resistant to electronic countermeasures and is fully operational in areas inaccessible to satellite navigation thanks to INS and TERCOM (terrain contour mapping system).

The supersonic cruise missile is equipped with an advanced infrared homing system capable of hitting both sea and land targets in motion. Ice Breaker is compatible with various aerial platforms, including fighter jets, light aircraft, helicopters, and is fully operational in all weather conditions. The flight of the rocket can be adjusted by the operator.
The length of the Ice Breaker is 4 meters, the weight is about 400 kg, of which 110 kg falls on the warhead.
The developer points out that Ice Breaker is equipped with artificial intelligence, which uses a large database, on the basis of which the AI selects a flight scenario and allows the rocket to automatically detect and recognize targets.
