Delivered Munition
A munition that has been employed—e.g., fired, dropped, or launched—from a delivery platform. The munition may have either functioned or failed to function.
Analyst Note:
The remnants shown in this image (and in linked OSMP entries) are reported by the Ukrainian government to be from the Russian ‘Oreshnik’ missile. Available information on this munition is very limited at the time of writing. It is reported that the Oreshnik can carry either a nuclear or conventional payload. The Oreshnik is likely capable of carrying up to 6 independently targetable reentry vehicles (MIRVs). It is unclear how many warheads can be carried in each re-entry vehicle. In the case of this strike, there is insufficient imagery to make a determination on which warhead/MIRV was used. (ARES)
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:
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:
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)
Analyst Note:
This image shows a DC motor from a Tomahawk missile, manufactured by Globe Motors of Dayton, Ohio, in the United States (part # 471A118 and serial # 7250). Globe Motors was acquired by Allied Motion in August 2013, and has since been renamed Allied Motion at Dayton. This DC motor is used as an actuator to assist in steering the Tomahawk to its target based upon input from the aviation section in the forward body assembly. Such motors often survive detonation and can serve as diagnostic remnants. (ARES)
Analyst Note:
Components matching those seen here have been documented at other sites associated with the detonation of RGM-/UGM-109 Tomahawk cruise missiles. See, for example, OSMP 1199, 1218, 1191, 1193, and 1444. (ARES)
Analyst Note:
The component shown in this image is a GPS antenna for the AGM-158 Joint Air-to-Surface Standoff Missile (JASSM). It is marked to indicate its manufacturer (“Ball Aerospace & Technologies Corp.”; now operating as BAE Systems’ Space & Mission Systems division) and with other key information, including a part number and contract number. (ARES)
Analyst Note:
The munition remnant pictured here is marked with a Federal Stock Number (FSN; predecessor to the National Stock Number, or NSN, found on more modern munitions) that indicates it is part of a MIM-23B Improved HAWK surface-to-air missile. Other details, including the manufacturer (“Raytheon Company”), are also visible. The FSN was replaced by the NSN in 1974, indicating that this munition must have been manufactured before that time. This is consistent with the recorded U.S. export of the MIM-23B to Iran in 1972. (ARES)
