OSMP2340
Analyst Note:
This image shows a functioned AGM-154A Joint Standoff Weapon (JSOW) air-to-surface missile. Upon functioning, a flexible linear shaped charge (FLSC) is used to cut open the munition body, dispensing 145 BLU-97B/B submunitions. The clean-cut edges visible on the bottom hanging section of the JSOW are the hallmark of the functioning of the FLSC. (ARES)
OSMP2407
Analyst Note:
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)
OSMP2385
Analyst Note:
The colour of this image appears more yellow than would be expected, perhaps as a result of a digital filter. In other images of the same remnants, the Modamer warheads pictured here appear to be grey, rather than tan. (ARES)
OSMP2387
Analyst Note:
This image shows remnants of several one-way attack UAVs, as well as two unfunctioned Modamer warheads. Modamer warheads are blast/fragmentation warheads with an overall weight of 34.5 kg (76 lb). The Modamer warhead designs are produced by Halcon, a subsidiary of Edge Group, which is owned by the Emirati state. (ARES)
OSMP2389
Analyst Note:
This image shows an unknown model of one-way attack (OWA) UAV believed to be produced and employed by the United Arab Emirates (UAE). ARES has assigned a temporary munitions identifier (TMID) of TMID-0015 to this munition. The UAV’s nose and a Modamer warhead can be seen, detached, to the left of the main body. (ARES)
OSMP2397
Analyst Note:
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)
OSMP1896
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)
