OSMP1837
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)
OSMP1835
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:
Cargo rockets often use an internal frame to manage the correct carriage and expulsion of submunitions. These internal frames frequently survive largely intact after the munition has functioned, and may be diagnostic in identifying a munition by type, series, or model. (ARES)
