Recent reports indicate that Israel likely employed air-launched ballistic missiles (ALBMs) in a strike on Iran, with evidence suggesting the use of the Blue Sparrow missile. A booster of the Israeli Blue Sparrow was discovered in Iraq, which is designed to mimic the trajectory and radar profile of Iran's medium-range ballistic missiles, such as the Shahab-3. Visual similarities have been noted between the Blue Sparrow missile and debris from the strike, which occurred on the night of October 25, 2024. Analysts believe that the use of these munitions will provide further technical insights into their capabilities and performance.
