The total weight of the Rampage is 570 kg, the range is up to 250 km with an average trajectory speed of up to 400 m/s. Similar missiles are equipped on F-16C, F-15U, F/A-18E/F, Eurofighter Typhoon, IAI Kfir and SEPECAT Jaguar fighters, according to data from open sources.

Multipurpose Su-30MKI fighters in India are produced under a Russian license at the state corporation Hindustan Aeronautics Limited. They form the basis of the republic's front-line aviation.

The universal domestic platform often becomes a testing ground for various types of weapons. For example, recently footage of the Su-30MKI with the latest Indian Astra air-to-air missile with a range of 100 km appeared. In addition, India has developed its own aerial bomb with UMPC for the fighter.

Earlier, www1.ru reported that the new fiber-optic FPV drone "Zanoza", developed by the "Groza" project, hits 80% of targets.
