The AIM-7 Sparrow is an air-to-air mιssιle guided by radar that has a high-explosive payload. All of the fighter and аttаck planes in the U.S. military use it. The Sparrow is very adaptable and can work in any weather or altitude. It can also аttаck fast planes and weapons from any direction. The United States and North Atlantic Treaty Organization troops use this type of mιssιle a lot.

The mιssιle is made up of four main parts: the warhead, the control section, the rocket motor, and the guide section. Its body is round, and it has four wings in the middle and four tail fins. Most of the Sparrow’s external dimensions stayed the same from model to model. However, the internal parts of newer missiles are much better and have a lot more powers.

The AIM-7F became the main medium-range air-to-air mιssιle for the F-15 Eagle when it was first introduced to the Air Force in 1976.

The only version that still works is the AIM-7M, which went into service in 1982. It is more reliable and performs better than older types at low altitudes and in places with electronic countermeasures. It also has a weapon that is much more dangerous. The H-Build software version for the AIM-7M is the most recent one. It has been made since 1987 and includes more improvements to guiding. You can find the AIM-7M Sparrow on the F-15 Eagle and the F-16 FigҺting Falcon jets. The U.S. and NATO forces use the RIM-7F/M Sea Sparrow, which is a surface-to-air/surface version of this mιssιle.

Pilots in the Air Force used the radar-guided AIM-7 Sparrow as a powerful air-to-air weapon in the Persian Gulf Wаr. Twenty-two fixed-wing Iraqi planes and three helicopters were shot down by AIM-7 Sparrow missiles directed by radar.
