Military analysts believe that Israel used its “Rampage” or “Blue Sparrow” missiles in its attack on Iran.

Analyst Tal Hagin wrote: “My speculation based on the allegation that this missile belongs to Israel: The fins in the front near the cone, the latches for it to be attached to an aircraft, and the large cylinder shape strongly resemble the “Rampage” – supersonic missile developed by Rafael.”

According to the manufacturer: The Rampage long-range supersonic air-to-ground precision strike missile features high survivability, operational flexibility and enables salvo strikes against high-value targets.

Based on advanced technologies and designed for fast response and precision strikes, the innovative air-to-ground missile features
a pre-programmable or in-flight mission profile, Navigation Satellite System/INS with anti-jam capabilities, a general purpose warhead and fire-and-forget capabilities. The standoff weapon enables salvo strikes against high-value targets such as air force bases and control towers, air defense sites, munitions storage, bunkers, logistics centers, communication infrastructures and other infrastructure facilities.

Rampage is compatible with a variety of aircraft and features various methods of aircraft-to-weapon interface: standalone, via avionic system or wireless with mobile device inside the cockpit.”

Weapons expert John Ridge, however, suggested that the missiles used in the attack were Blue Sparrows. Ridge wrote: “So my initial gut feeling was correct, it was not UAVs. The IAF carried out a standoff attack from Syrian airspace with Sparrow, likely Blue Sparrow, air-launched ballistic missiles released from F-15Is. Booster wreckage was recovered in Iraq.”
