Iraq
A large country in the Middle East affected by conflict since a 2003 US-led invasion to overthrow dictatorial President Saddam Hussein. Since 2013 the Iraqi military, with the military support of a US-led Coalition, has fought the so-called Islamic State, while conflict between often sectarian militias continues. Turkey also conducts regular strikes against Kurdish militants in northern Iraq.

Analyst Note:
Whilst the rear section of the AGM-179 JAGM (seen here, in part) is derived from the AGM-114 Hellfire series of air-to-surface missiles—and thus shares physical characteristics in terms of general construction, including rear fin placement—the warning label indicating a weight of 52.0 kg (115 lbs) indicates the remnant is from a JAGM.

OSMP512
Analyst Note:
This image shows a component believed to be part of the folding-blade assembly used in the AGM-114R-9X variant of the Hellfire missile. Blades are used in place of an explosive payload to create a kinetic weapon that achieves a practical level of lethality whilst minimising collateral harm. (ARES)
OSMP456
Analyst Note:
This component is one of four pneumatically controlled canards from the guidance section of a Paveway II precision guided munition (PGM) conversion kit. When a Paveway II conversion kit is fitted to a MK 82 series unguided air-delivered bomb (note markings), the munition receives a GBU-12 series designation. (ARES)
