In June 2015, Rafael confirmed the existence of the I-Derby-ER, an extended range version of the Derby that increases range to {{convert|54|nmi|mi km|abbr=on}}, after a "Python 6" version based on an air-launched [[David's Sling|Stunner missile]] was abandoned. To achieve greater range, a dual-pulse solid rocket motor is added, where the secondary pulse of energy as the missile nears the target extends flight time. It also combines the seeker and fuse into an integrated sensor and fusing system to make room for the new motor.<ref>[https://www.flightglobal.com/news/articles/israel-long-range-fashion-catches-on-in-iaf-421153/ ISRAEL: Long-range fashion catches on in IAF] – Flightglobal.com, 25 January 2015</ref>
In May 2019, it was reported that India was planning to arm its [[Sukhoi Su-30MKI]] fighters with I-Derby ER missiles to replace its [[R-77]] missiles. Previously, in 2018, it had already been selected for the Indian Air Force's [[HAL Tejas]] fighter.<ref>{{
