As Prime Minister pays his second state visit to Israel, India is keen to take forward the talks on acquiring the Israeli-origin ‘Sky Sting’ beyond-visual-range air-to-air missile (BVRAAM) for the Indian Air Force (IAF).
About Sky Sting Missile:
It is a 6th-generation beyond-visual-range air-to-air missile (BVRAAM).
It is being developed by Rafael Advanced Defense Systems Ltd., an Israeli defense technology company.
It is light enough to be carried by aircraft such as the Tejas Mk1A, while also being compatible with Su-30MKI
It boasts a range of 250 km, with a three-pulse solid-fuel rocket motor enabling end-game speeds exceeding Mach 5.
Its radio-frequency seeker, supported by AI-driven target discrimination and jam-resistant technology, allows precise early lock-on and robust electronic counter-countermeasures.
A two-way data link ensures real-time communication between the pilot and the missile during engagements.
Designed to provide air forces with a significant tactical edge by allowing pilots to neutralise threats from a safe distance, Sky Sting addresses modern challenges like stealth targets and electronic warfare.
