Analyst Note:
This image shows an external portion of an Israeli Ra'am Eitan missile, a type of cluster munition fired from the Lahav (PULS) mobile rocket launcher. The yellow diamonds marked on the exterior of the munition are used to indicate a cluster munition. Other markings appear to indicate that this example was manufactured in 2017. (ARES)
Analyst Note:
The component pictured here is a small turbofan engine from a Tomahawk missile. Missiles are vertically launched from the Typhon Missile System (named for a monster of Greek mythology), which is also capable of launching the Standard SM-6 guided missile. The Tomahawk missile is ejected from its launch tube under gas pressure, then the solid propellant of the booster motor section (Mk 135 booster produced by L3Harris) propels the missile until the turbofan engine (F107-WR-402 for Block III/IV or F415 for Block IV/V, both produced by Williams International) in the propulsion section is initiated and the booster motor section drops away. The propulsion section also supports the four tail fins, which are released by the two-piece continuity shroud upon launch. (ARES)
Analyst Note:
This image shows an AGM-114R2 Hellfire II missile. The AGM-114R2 is an enhanced version of the the AGM-114R multi-role missile, which is designed to engage a wide variety of targets. The Hellfire R-series missile are equipped with a multi-purpose warhead that can engage armoured or unarmoured vehicles on land or sea, as well as personnel in the open or in buildings. Reports indicate that the AGM-114R2 features improvements to its guidance software and tracking to increase accuracy against moving targets, as well as incorporating an adjustable height-of-burst (HOB) capability which allows it to detonate at a pre-determined height above the ground.

Analyst Note:
A BLU-91/B GATOR anti-vehicle landmine is seen in this image, with the remains of an aeroballistic adaptor visible. BLU-91/B mines can be deployed from cluster bombs or from vehicle-mounted dispensers, however the presence of the square aeroballistic adaptor here indicates that this example was deployed from an air-delivered cluster bomb. (ARES)
Analyst Note:
This image depicts what appears to be a WDU-42/B penetrator warhead as used in the AGM-158 JASSM series of missiles. The WDU-42/B is a 1,000-pound-class blast/fragmentation penetrator warhead designed to destroy hardened or reinforced targets. At the rear of the warhead, an FMU-156/B fuze is visible. This fuze is pre-programmed before launch according to the type of intended target. (ARES)
Analyst Note:
This munition, believed to be of Israeli origin, has been documented at a number of strike sites in Lebanon, Gaza, and Iran. Although distinctive remnants permit its tentative identification, the lack of a confirmed model name means this munition has been assigned a Temporary Munitions Identifier (TMID) by ARES. This appears in the Tentative Model field of the OSMP so that all records of this munition in the database can be linked under one temporary name. (ARES)
Analyst Note:
This image shows a Lancet-series one-way attack (OWA) UAV. It strongly resembles the Z-51E made by Zala Aerospace, a Russian manufacturer, although this cannot be confirmed from the available image. The Lancet series of drones can carry a variety of different warheads, including blast, fragmentation, thermobaric, and High Explosive Anti-Tank (HEAT). (ARES)
Analyst Note:
Positive identification of the model of air-delivered bomb to which the UMPK kit is fitted cannot be made from the source imagery. Based on the size of the UMPK and historical use in the area, it is likely an OFAB-250-270 model. (ARES)
Analyst Note:
It is reported that this jet engine was recovered from the wreckage of a Geran-5 one-way attack (OWA) UAV. It is most likely a Telefly TF-TJ2000A model, manufactured by Telefly Telecommunications Company in China. It is reported that the TF-TJ2000A engine produces 200 kg of thrust; this is a significant increase in thrust compared to the Telefly JT80 engine used on the Shahed-238 (Geran-3) UAV, which produces approximately 80 kg of thrust. (ARES)
Analyst Note:
This image shows the remains of a Russian Geran-5 drone. These drones are reported to be roughly 6 meters long and have a wingspan of up to 5.5 meters. They are fitted with a warhead weighing approximately 90 kg and have a range of about 1,000 km. (ARES)
Analyst Note:
The 3OF39 Krasnopol is a laser-guided, rocket-assisted 152 mm tank gun projectile carrying a high explosive fragmentation (HE-FRAG) warhead. The round is built and shipped with a cover over the optical sensor. This protective cover is fitted with a T-90 mechanical time delay fuze. Once fired, the T-90 fuze will initiate after a pre-selected time and will jettison the protective cover, exposing the optical sensor in the nose. The internal impact fuze, which can be set for immediate or delayed initiation, is then responsible for detonating the projectile. (ARES)
Analyst Note:
3OF39 Krasnopol rounds are shipped in two parts as seen in this image. They are then assembled prior to employment. (ARES)
Analyst Note:
Considered with additional contextual materials, it is assessed that this image shows the rocket motor section from a 122 mm incendiary rocket, specifically the 9M22S or 9M28S models. Both rockets carry the same warhead, but use rocket motors of different lengths; not enough of this motor is visible to positively identify the model. (ARES)
Analyst Note:
This image shows a stepped component positioned at the front of the warheads carried by 122mm 9M22S and 9M28S incendiary rockets. This structure helps to push the ML-5 incendiary elements out of the rear of warhead once the fuze in the nose functions. It is a relatively distinctive component, and commonly found in the vicinity of where the incendiary elements fall. (ARES)
