The Rampage was officially unveiled in June 2018 and reportedly used for the first time in April 2019 in Syria. As of July 2023, the
Royal Air Force is looking at using Rampage missiles after donating
Storm Shadow missiles to Ukraine. Rampage missiles are believed to be cheaper than Storm Shadow missiles and are more readily available.
Israel On 19 December 2024, the
Israeli Air Force conducted
airstrikes against the Houthis in Yemen with Rampage (mounted on F-16s) and the older
Popeye (mounted on F-15s) missiles targeting ports and energy infrastructure at
Sanaa. Rampage was used by Israel in combat in the
2026 Iran war.
India The
Indian Armed Forces first acquired the Rampage missile in the wake of the
2020 Galwan clash. On 7 May 2025, India conducted
Operation Sindoor against Pakistan; the
Indian Air Force said that it struck nine Pakistani sponsored militant camps across Pakistan in a coordinated, precision-led campaign causing extensive damage. Pakistani sponsored militant camps belonging to JeM and LeT in
Bahawalpur and
Muridke were extensively damaged using the Rampage missile as a part of the operation. India used many Rampage missiles along with
Brahmos and
Storm Shadow on 10 May 2025, during
Operation Sindoor continuation, where
Indian Air Force Jaguar fighter bombers and
Sukhoi Su-30MKI and
MIG-29 fighters struck several Pakistani bases with the Rampage missile. The amount of damage is unknown as Sources did not reveal any meaningful information on the damage caused. Several Pakistani transport aircraft and hangars were hit, and many of these hits can be attributed to the Rampage. Following the conflict, the IAF has reportedly planned to acquire a larger fleet of the missile under a fast-track route. There is a possibility of the
licensed production of the missile in India as well. == Users ==
