This image shows remnants of a Guided Advanced Tactical Rocket (GATR) alongside the remnants of a Hydra-70 series rocket. Developed and produced by Elbit Systems of Israel, GATR adds advanced capabilities, including guidance, to ‘dumb’ Hydra-70 rockets, in similar fashion to the U.S. APKWS system. GATR replaces the fins typically found in Hydra-70 series rockets with those of a new design. (ARES)

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)
OSMP2397
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)

The German DM 1399 (AT2) anti-tank landmine shown here can be dispensed from rockets and ground vehicles. Upon being dispensed, a small parachute is deployed in order to slow the mine’s descent and assist in in landing base down; the parachute is released upon impact by an impact-release connector. Upon impact, from five to 12 (six shown) spring-loaded, metal legs deploy to right the mine; arming is completed anywhere from 15 seconds to five minutes thereafter. The base of the cylindrical body houses the battery and electronics assembly, with the main explosive charge and Misnay–Schardin shaped charge plate immediately above. The body is topped by a dome cover and an S3 sensor wire which extends approximately 600 mm (12 in) above the body of the mine. (ARES)

Analyst Note 24 August 2026
Pictured is a Russian PFM-1 or PFM-1S submunition which are small plastic (low density polythene), liquid high explosive, anti-personnel scatterable landmines with a pressure fuze and may be green, white, sand or brown (shown) in color. The only difference between the models is that the PFM-1S incorporates a nominal self-destruct of 40 hours, though they may remain active for far longer and are known to randomly self-destruct for weeks after deployment. They weigh approximately 70 grams (2.47 oz.) and are typically dispensed from cannisters, but the war in Ukraine has seen them dispensed from drones as well. (ARES)

Analyst Note 28 April 2026
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 2 March 2026
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)
OSMP1851
Analyst Note 2 March 2026
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 2 March 2026
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)
OSMP1835
Analyst Note 2 March 2026
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)
OSMP1823
Analyst Note 2 March 2026
This image shows the remnants of a PAC-3 Cost Reduction Initiative (CRI) missile. The PAC-3 family of missiles are hit-to-kill interceptors that defend against incoming ballistic missiles, cruise missiles, aircraft, and other targets primarily by using kinetic impact. However, it is important to note that these missiles contain a high explosive fragmentation (HE-FRAG) “lethality enhancer” warhead. These warheads are much smaller than what would normally be expected on a surface-to-air missile of this size, but still present a hazard if it fails to function as designed. (ARES)

Analyst Note 28 November 2025
This image shows 122 mm high explosive (HE) artillery gun projectiles manufactured in three different states, L–R: Iran, North Korea, and Russia. Whilst these examples are distinct from one another—particularly in coloration, as well as the presence or absence of paint over the driving band and bourrelet—this is not always the case, and a combination of physical features and markings should be assessed before identification is made. (ARES)

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)

Analyst Note 31 December 2025
The UMPK guidance package is a ‘bolt-on’ kit that can be fitted to unguided air-delivered bombs to convert them to guided munitions. The UMPK kit also greatly extends the range of the munition to which it is fitted, allowing aircraft to strike from beyond the range of many air-defence systems. Currently only Russia manufacturers and uses these kits. (ARES)
OSMP1838
Analyst Note 31 December 2025
The munition indicated is a one-way-attack (OWA) UAV fitted with a PG-7-series high explosive anti-tank (HEAT) warhead. Not enough of the warhead is visible to provide a positive ID on which model of PG-7-series projectile it was harvested from. (ARES)
OSMP671
Analyst Note 28 November 2025
Markings on the forward section of this small, air-delivered bomb suggest that the designation is ‘BK-3OF’ (“БК-3ОФ”). The physical features of the munition suggest that it is laser-guided and likely carries a high explosive fragmentation (HE-FRAG) payload. This image shows the only known example, which was allegedly captured by Russian forces in conjunction with a Ukrainian UAV. (ARES)

This Russian air-delivered cluster bomb is marked with a threatening message directed at the French people: «Français! Changer la politique du président dans le pays, sinon ces bombes vont changer le lieu d'atterrissage!» (“French people! Change the president’s policy in the country, otherwise these bombs will change their landing site!”). (ARES)
OSMP1708
Analyst Note 28 November 2025
This image shows a Hydra-70 rocket fitted with an Advanced Precision Kill Weapon System (APKWS) guidance kit, converting it into a guided missile. In this case, the missile features an M151 high explosive (HE) warhead fitted with either an M427 or M423 point-detonating (PD) fuze. The rocket motor model cannot be determined from this source alone, but it is most likely to be a MK 66-series motor. The launcher appears to be a LAND-LGR4 model produced by Arnold Defense. (ARES)

This image shows the three lenses that form the new version of the Kh-101 Digital Scene Matching Area Correlator (DSMAC) system. (The older version only had a single lens.) DSMAC systems take digital images of the ground as the missile passes overhead, and then compare those images to pre-captured images stored in the onboard memory. The DSMAC corrects the flight path as needed based on differences between the two sets of images. (ARES)
