Rocket or Missile Sudan [TEMP] ARES-TMID-0013
Analyst Note 15 August 2026
This image shows an unknown model of one-way attack (OWA) UAV believed to be produced by the UAE, and employed by the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) in Sudan. Unlike TMID-0014 and TMID-0015, this UAV uses a 82 mm mortar projectile fitted in the nose, rather than a Modamer warhead. (ARES)

Rocket or Missile Sudan [TEMP] ARES-TMID-0014
Analyst Note 15 August 2026
The fuze installed in this Modamer warhead appears to be the Serbian UT M18, which is commonly installed in the “120mm TB” thermobaric air-delivered bomb. The 120mm TB resembles a mortar projectile (see OSMP 1803 & 1812), but is commonly dropped from UAVs. Both the 120mm TB and the UT M18 fuze are known to have been purchased by the armed forces of the UAE, and shipments marked for delivery to the UAE have been documented in Sudan. (ARES)

Rocket or Missile Sudan
Analyst Note 2 March 2026
Based on design features and an estimation of the munition’s apparent size relative to the personnel handling it, this image appears to show a 122 mm surface-to-surface rocket fitted with a high explosive fragmentation (HE-FRAG) warhead, although the specific model and country of origin are unclear. In Sudan there have been reports of Russian, Chinese, and domestically produced (Taka-02) 122 mm rockets being used. (ARES)

Recoilless Munition Sudan M344A1
Analyst Note 5 February 2026
Pictured here are a pair of 106 mm M344A1 High Explosive Anti-Tank (HEAT) projectiles fitted with M509A1 point-initiating, base-detonating (PIBD) fuzes. These are designed to be fired from M40-series 106 mm recoilless rifles. Note that, despite the nominal 106 mm designations, the M40 has a bore diameter of 105 mm. (ARES)
OSMP1816
Recoilless Munition Sudan PG-7 series › PG-7VR
Analyst Note 31 December 2025
This PG-7VR recoilless gun projectile is painted in a tan colour often associated with Iranian production, but also used by other manufacturers. Iranian munitions have been seen and reported in Sudan with regularity. (ARES)
OSMP1803
Air-Delivered Bomb Sudan 120mm TB
Analyst Note 31 December 2025
This munition, despite being adapated from the design of a 120 mm mortar projectile and closely resembling such, is actually a small air-delivered bomb intended to be dropped by UAV. The manufacturer clearly states that the munition should not be fired from a mortar. Additional data from the manufacturer states that it uses a UT M18 “special impact fuze”. (ARES)
OSMP1802
Rocket or Missile Sudan FN-6 Nayzak
Analyst Note 31 December 2025
This image shows an FN-6-series man-portable air-defence system (MANPADS) being fired. In Sudan, this weapon is referred to as the ‘Nayzak’. The Nayzak is most likely a Chinese FN-6 re-marked for domestic use. (ARES)
OSMP1690
Rocket or Missile Sudan
Analyst Note 31 December 2025
This image shows a one-way-attack (‘sacrificial’) UAV with the apparent warhead broken off. It is believed to have been attached to the grey mechanism located at the rear of the UAV, likely separating when the UAV was downed. (ARES)
OSMP1812
Air-Delivered Bomb Sudan 120mm TB
Analyst Note 8 December 2025
This image shows a ‘120mm TB’ air-delivered bomb that has been adapted from a 120 mm mortar projectile. It is claimed by the manufacturer that this thermobaric munition offers improved fragmentation and blast effects when compared with standard (high explosive) 120 mm mortar projectiles. The “with special FUZE” marking refers to the use of the UT M18 impact fuze. Note that this munition cannot be fired from a mortar, despite the munition body showing features consistent with this use (e.g., gas-check bands). Instead of a standard mortar projectile tailboom which would contain an ignition cartridge and be perforated by flash holes, this munition is fitted with a simplified, plastic tailfin assembly that is designed to stabilise the munition as it falls after being released by a UAV. (ARES)
OSMP1681
Mortar Projectile Sudan 60mm L.R.
Analyst Note 28 November 2025
The physical features of this munition indicate that it is most likely an Iranian 60 mm ‘high explosive, long-range’ (“H.E. L.R.”) mortar projectile fitted with an AZ111A2 impact fuze. However, positive identification cannot be made based on the source imagery. (ARES)
OSMP1764
Rocket or Missile Sudan
Analyst Note 28 November 2025
This image shows several 107 mm rockets of the Type 63 pattern. Whilst developed by China, munitions of this design are now produced by several countries around the world, including Iran, North Korea, and Sudan. The state-owned Military Industry Corporation (MIC) of Sudan produces a copy of the Type 63 known as the TAKA-01, TAKA-1, or TAKA-107. (ARES)
OSMP1756
Rocket or Missile Sudan
Analyst Note 28 November 2025
This images appears to show the remnants of a 122 mm rocket. It is unclear what the country of origin is, but it is most likely a 9M22-series or Type 81-series rocket. (ARES)
