Israeli defense electronics and weapons house Rafael Advanced Defense Systems has added a new precision-guided munition to its portfolio, having unveiled the Spice 250 ER (extended range) at the Aero India show being held at Yelahanka  Air Force Station in Bengaluru February 3-5.

The new weapon is based on the existing Spice 250, a standoff glide weapon in the 250-pound (113-kg) class with a 165-pound multi-effects warhead and pop-out wings that give a glide range of up to 54 nm (100 km). The ER development features a small internal turbojet that runs on JP-8/10 fuel and extends the weapon’s reach to more than 81 miles.
