ADM-160 MALD decoy wreckage appears in Iran, suggesting ongoing air-defense probing

Photos circulated by Iranian media appear to show wreckage of a Raytheon ADM-160 MALD air-launched decoy, implying U.S./allied use of deception assets to stimulate Iranian radars and map air-defense command-and-control. While MALD is not new, its apparent employment/recovery in the Iran theater highlights continued stand-in decoying and electronic order-of-battle collection during a lull in kinetic strikes.
