The IAI Harpy is a loitering munition missile produced by Israel Aerospace Industries.

The Harpy is designed to attack radar systems and is optimised for the suppression of enemy air defences (SEAD) role.

[1] In 2004, the Harpy became the focus of the effort by the United States to restrict arms transfers and the sales of advanced military technology to China.

Sold to China in 1994 for around US$55 million, the loitering munitions were returned to Israel in 2004 under contract to be upgraded.

The United States, fearing that the Harpy would pose a threat to Taiwanese and American forces in the case of a war with China,[2] demanded that Israel seize the loitering munitions and nullify the contract.
