Rocket or Missile Syria 9M22S Grad 9M28S Grad
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)

Air-Delivered Bomb Iran GBU-39 series
Analyst Note 15 August 2026
These images show a relatively intact GBU-39/B air-delivered bomb, with the distinctive Diamond Back Wing Assembly still mounted to the bomb body. Whilst the source claims that the U.S. feared this bomb would be exploited for its technology, the GBU-39/B has been in widespread use since its introduction in 2006, including in Gaza, Lebanon, Syria and Yemen. Similar glide bombs have been designed and produced by other nations. (ARES)

Rocket or Missile Middle East Precision Strike Missile (PrSM) Increment One
Analyst Note 7 March 2026
This image shows what is believed to be one of the first combat uses of the Precision Strike Missile (PrSM), following its entry into U.S. Army service in late 2023. PrSM is the successor to the ATACMS short-range ballistic missile that has become well known due to its use in the Russo–Ukrainian War. The Increment One version of PrSM has a range of approximately 500 km. The missile is seen here being fired from an M142 High Mobility Artillery Rocket System (HIMARS). (ARES)

Submunition Israel [TEMP] ARES-TMID-0012
Analyst Note 5 March 2026
This image shows an unexploded Iranian submunition of unknown designation. Visually similar examples have been documented following Iranian ballistic missile strikes on Israel in June 2025 and March 2026. At least two variants are believed to exist, but publicly available details remain limited at time of review. (ARES)

Rocket or Missile Iraq LUCAS
Analyst Note 4 March 2026
This image shows a Low-Cost Unmanned Combat Attack System (LUCAS). The LUCAS one-way attack UAV is a U.S.-made, cost-effective ‘kamikaze drone’. LUCAS munitions can connect to one another via a mesh network, allowing multiple LUCAS drones to communicate in flight. The white square object connected to the munition by a cable appears to be a Starlink antenna, consistent with reported communication capabilities. Elon Musk has claimed that LUCAS operates only via Starshield, a Starlink-derived satellite network intended for government use. (ARES)

Rocket or Missile Ukraine Patriot PAC-3 Series › Patriot PAC-3 CRI
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)

Rocket or Missile Iraq 358
Analyst Note 2 March 2026
The Iranian 358 surface-to-air missile is reportedly a ‘loitering munition’, designed for engaging drones and rotary-wing aircraft. It employs a combination of ground-based and onboard thermal cameras to scan a designated area, and then uses an infrared imaging seeker in the nose to locate and lock onto targets. The missile carries a 10 kg fragmentation warhead, which is functioned by a 360-degree laser proximity sensor. (ARES)

Rocket or Missile Russia Kh-69 series
Analyst Note 27 April 2026
Shown is the Russian Kh-69 (marked in Cyrillic: “Х-69”) cruise missile which was debuted at a Russian arms show in August 2022, and entered into active military service the following year. The Kh-69 was reportedly first used in combat in February 2024, engaging Ukrainian targets. The more compact design when compared with previous Russian missiles results in a smaller radar signature, which is further reduced by the trapezoidal form factor. The Kh-69 is classed by the Russian military as a ‘stealth cruise missile’ and carries either a penetrator or cluster (submunitions) warhead. (ARES)

Air-Delivered Bomb Ukraine UMPK kit
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)

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)

Air-Delivered Bomb Ukraine UMPK kit
Analyst Note 31 December 2025
This image shows a russian air-delivered bomb fitted with a UMPK guidance kit. Not enough of the bomb is visible to positively identify the model, but it is most likely an OFAB-250-270 based on what can be seen of the tail section. (ARES)

Rocket or Missile Venezuela 9M317 Series 9M38 series
Analyst Note 9 January 2026
This image appears to show a remnant from either a 9M38- or 9M317-series surface-to-air missile. Positive identification of this munition cannot be made based on the imagery in this source alone; a rear control fin is visible in image but the 9M38- and 9M317-series missiles use indistinguishable rear fins.

Air-Delivered Bomb Venezuela AGM-154 JSOW series
Analyst Note 9 January 2026
The AGM-154 Joint Standoff Weapon (JSOW) is a guided air-delivered ‘glide bomb’ that allows for long-range strikes using an unpowered munition. The AGM-154C and AGM-154C-1 variants (a remnant of the latter pictured here) carry a Bomb Royal Ordnance Augmented Charge (BROACH) multi-stage warhead which uses a WDU-44 shaped-charge warhead as its first stage, to help penetrate hardened targets, whilst the WDU-45 second stage comprises a conventional high explosive penetrator warhead (also called a ‘follow-through’ warhead). The AGM-154C-1 is described by the U.S. Navy as their “first air-to-ground Network-Enabled Weapon (NEW) capable of attacking stationary land and moving maritime targets. It includes GPS/INS guidance, terminal IR seeker and a Link 16 weapon data link. Integration of the Link-16 weapon data link and updated seeker software algorithms provide a capability against at-sea moving/relocatable targets.” (ARES)

Air-Delivered Bomb Ukraine
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)

Air-Delivered Bomb Russia RBK-500 series › RBK-500 ShOAB-0.5 UMPK kit
Analyst Note 9 January 2026
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)
