Meet Ice Breaker: Israel's Powerful Missile That Could Arm Indian Air Force Against China, Pakistan
With its thumping success against Pakistan in the recent 4-day conflict following Operation Sindoor, the Indian Air Force is now looking to arm itself with Israel's stealthy air-launched cruise missile 'Ice Breaker'. According to reports, the IAF is evaluating the purchase and induction of the Ice Breaker in its fleet. Notably, the IAF used BrahMos missiles among others during Operation Sindoor against Pakistan, Ice Breaker will be another feather in the Air Force's cap. When it comes to Ice Breaker, it's definitely a class apart for long-range precision strikes. If inducted, Ice Breaker will surely give chills to China and Pakistan.

Cruise VS Ballistic VS Hypersonic Missiles: Which One Is More Lethal? Check Range, Speed And Accuracy
Cruise, ballistic, and hypersonic missiles differ in speed, flight path, and interception difficulty. Cruise missiles fly at low altitudes within the Earth's atmosphere at subsonic or supersonic speeds. Ballistic missiles follow a high-arching trajectory, leaving and re-entering the atmosphere at hypersonic speeds. Hypersonic missiles travel faster than Mach 5, maneuver mid-flight, and are nearly impossible to intercept. While ICBMs have long ranges, hypersonic missiles offer speed and unpredictability, though they are costly to develop.
