Historical Background of the AIM-7E Sparrow

The AIM-7E Sparrow is an American semi-active radar air-to-air missile, developed by Raytheon in the 1960s. It was widely used by countries such as the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia, Canada, and other NATO members. The main period of service spans from the late 1960s through the 1990s—the AIM-7E missiles were especially deployed by American F-4 Phantom II fighters during the Vietnam War.
