Stunner
An Israeli-designed surface-to-air missile introduced into operational service in 2017 as part of the David’s Sling air defence system. The Stunner interceptor has an effective range of up to 300 km and can be employed against long-range artillery rockets, tactical ballistic missiles, cruise missiles, UAVs (drones), and other aircraft. The two-stage missile uses a solid-fuel rocket booster to accelerate a kill vehicle that uses kinetic energy and hit-to-kill technology to perform intercepts. The missile is highly maneuverable and uses dual electro-optical and imaging infrared guidance, with updates from ground-based radar. The Stunner has been used by Israel during recent conflicts in Gaza and Lebanon.

Rocket or Missile Palestinian Territories Stunner
Analyst Note:
The Stunner surface-to-air missile fired by the David’s Sling air defence system is a two-stage interceptor, meaning that the munition contains two separate rocket motors for launch and propulsion. The first stage, or launch motor, detaches from the munition after a short time, before the second stage, or flight motor, ignites. The second stage motor, visible here, was found relatively intact.

Rocket or Missile Israel Stunner
Analyst Note:
The Stunner missile is the surface-to-air interceptor missile fired by the David’s Sling weapon system to defeat short-range ballistic missiles, cruise missiles, drones, and rockets. The Stunner does not carry an explosive warhead, instead relying on kinetic impact (also called the ‘hit-to-kill’ principle) to intercept ballistic missiles and other targets. (ARES)
