Air-to-Surface
Munitions that are delivered from above the surface of the earth, typically from an aerial vehicle, and designed to strike surface-based targets — whether on land or at sea.

Current Filter

Shaped Charge Munition
Munitions which shape the blast effects of an explosive fill to achieve a specific effect, most often to penetrate armour. The most common shaped charge munitions use a ‘high explosive anti-tank’ (HEAT) warhead, which is sometimes combined with blast, fragmentation, and/or incendiary damage mechanisms to provide more flexible effects.

Mikholit
A small, Israeli-designed guided air-delivered bomb introduced by Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI). The Mikholit can be deployed via UAV, such as the Hermes 450 and Hermes 900 models. These munitions have a number of warhead configurations, including a blast warhead with no fragmentation, and a shaped-charge warhead with a fragmentation liner consisting of small tungsten cubes (HEAT-FRAG). Mikholit warheads are known to carry less than 2 kg of HV-10 explosive composition, with the specific weight varying by type. It has seen extensive use during the ongoing conflict in the Gaza Strip, as well as against Hezbollah in Lebanon in 2024 and during the 12-day Iran–Israel conflict in 2025.

Analyst Note:
This image shows two Mikholit air-delivered bombs (‘glide bombs’), and four Mikholit warheads. There are at least two different variants of warheads available for the Mikholit glide bomb. The green cylinder on the left is a blast (high explosive) warhead, whilst the other three warheads are shaped charge warheads which incorporate additional fragmentation. Blast warheads of this type have also been seen with red markings, while the shaped charge warheads have been seen with yellow markings. (ARES)
