Text: 🇮🇱 Israel’s F-35 Could Get An Ice Breaker Upgrade This could be a major jump in Israel’s long range strike capability. Israel is integrating Rafael’s SPICE 1000 with the F-35I Adir. SPICE 1000 has a reported range of around 125 km. Now compare that with Ice Breaker, which has a reported range of up to 300 km. That is more than twice the range of SPICE-1000 If Israel eventually integrates Ice Breaker with the F-35I, the aircraft could combine stealth, advanced sensors and a much longer range stand off weapon, allowing it to engage targets from significantly farther away. Ice Breaker is not confirmed for F-35 integration yet. But if Israel makes it happen, the F-35I would become an even more formidable long range strike platform. From 125 km with SPICE 1000 to potentially 300 km with Ice Breaker. That is a serious capability jump. |
