India Advances Deep-Strike Missile Capability Using Israeli Technology

India is advancing its deep-strike missile capabilities by integrating Israeli technology, including the ROCKS missile and Golden Horizon system. Inspired by Israel's Blue Sparrow missile, which was reportedly used in a February 28 strike on Tehran, these systems feature near-space ballistic flight profiles and hypersonic re-entry, enhancing precision and evasion of air defenses. The Indian Air Force successfully test-fired the ROCKS missile in April 2024, aiming to target high-value sites from extended ranges, with ongoing plans for further collaboration and technology transfer.
