Mine Submunition Ukraine PTM-3
Analyst Note:
This image shows a PTM-3 scatterable anti-vehicle mine, surrounded by the remnants of an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). Russia has been dispensing PTM-3 mines from one-way attack UAVs as they fly towards their primary target. Typically, these OWA UAVs are fitted with KPTM-3 remote mining canisters mounted under the wings, which eject their PTM-3 payload midair. The PTM-3’s fuze features an arming delay which is sufficient to allow the mine to fall to the ground before fully activating. (ARES)

Rocket or Missile Iran [TEMP] ARES-TMID-0015
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)

Rocket or Missile Iran [TEMP] ARES-TMID-0015
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)

Rocket or Missile R-73 R-73EL
Analyst Note:
This photo shows a Russian Air Force Su-35 (RF-81718), which, alongside another Russian aircraft, intercepted a UK Royal Air Force aircraft in international airspace over the Black Sea. This image, published by the Royal Air Force, provides an opportunity to view a ‘live’ Su-35 load-out in detail. (ARES)

Rocket or Missile Syria KP-M-112mm
Analyst Note:
From early 2026, rockets marked “KP-M-112mm” began appearing in media reports from Syria. The manufacturer and country of origin of these is not yet known. Visually, these munitions closely resemble the Chinese Type 63 family of rockets (which includes the Iranian FAJR 1, often seen in Syria). However, the markings indicate an apparent 112 mm diameter, which is larger than the 107 mm of the Type 63 family. There are other, minor differences in construction that are externally visible.

Mine Submunition Ukraine ADAM / M67 / M72
Analyst Note:
This image shows a U.S. Area Denial Artillery Munition (ADAM), an anti-personnel scatterable landmine which is dispensed from the rear of M692 and M731 155 mm artillery gun projectiles. Each projectile contains 36 ADAM submunitions. The submunition can deploy up to seven tripwires out to 20 ft (6.1 m). Any movement of a tripwire or movement of the ADAM body will result in a small kill mechanism being ejected to a height of a 6–8 ft (1.8 m–2.4 m) prior to detonating. Each munition contains a small amount of depleted uranium. The ADAM was previously designated as either the M67 or M72, with the only difference being the self-destruct time delay. (ARES)

Mine Submunition Ukraine DM1399
Analyst Note:
The German DM 1399 (AT2) anti-tank landmine shown here can be dispensed from rockets and ground vehicles. Upon being dispensed, a small parachute is deployed in order to slow the mine’s descent and assist in in landing base down; the parachute is released upon impact by an impact-release connector. Upon impact, from five to 12 (six shown) spring-loaded, metal legs deploy to right the mine; arming is completed anywhere from 15 seconds to five minutes thereafter. The base of the cylindrical body houses the battery and electronics assembly, with the main explosive charge and Misnay–Schardin shaped charge plate immediately above. The body is topped by a dome cover and an S3 sensor wire which extends approximately 600 mm (12 in) above the body of the mine. (ARES)

Mine Submunition Ukraine DM1399
Analyst Note:
This image shows a German DM 1399 (AT2) dispensed anti-tank (anti-vehicle) landmine. This munition uses a shaped charge that relies on the Misnay–Schardin effect to penetrate the underside of armoured fighting vehicles. The DM 1399 reportedly has magnetic and pressure fuzing, along with an anti-disturbance feature and a self-destruct time delay of up to four days, settable in six different increments. The mines can be dispensed from rockets (MLRS), vehicles (Skorpion 2), and UAVs (Eggbox with 4 mines). Currently the mines are known to be in service with Finland, Germany, Norway, the United Kingdom, and Ukraine (having been donated by Germany). Denmark, Latvia, and Sweden are in the process of having AT2+ mines and Skorpion 2 systems delivered. (ARES)

Rocket or Missile Iraq Paveh/Quds/351 series
Analyst Note:
This image shows the launch of an Iranian Paveh surface-to-surface cruise missile in Iraq. The munition was fired by Iranian proxy forces and reportedly targeting Israel. Some sources indicate the Paveh has been renamed the ‘Jamal-10’, whilst others claim it is being locally produced in Iraq by Iranian proxy forces. With an estimated 75% of the missile’s components coming from outside Iran, distributed production is certainly possible. The missile has two large wings located forward of the munition’s midpoint, three smaller fins towards the tail, and four actuated fins around the tail. The initial launch is accomplished with a solid-propellant rocket motor, which gives way to a turbo jet flight motor mounted on top of the missile, towards the tail. (ARES)

Air-Delivered Bomb Middle East BLU-109 GBU-31 JDAM JDAM kit
Analyst Note:
Highlighted are four GBU-31 Joint Direct Attack Munitions (JDAM) guided air-delivered bombs loaded onto the belly of a U.S. F-15E Strike Eagle aircraft. The GBU-31-series consists of a 2,000-pound-class bomb (Mk 84, BLU-109, or BLU-109A/B) and a guidance kit comprising a tail unit with four articulating fins and a guidance control unit with inertial navigation system (INS) and global positioning system (GPS) functions. The GBU-31 munitions seen here are built around the BLU-109, a penetrator munition with a solid nose and a thicker, one-piece body which flares slightly at the base. It has no body welds; the heavy steel base plate is held in place by an equally robust threaded steel closure ring. The BLU-109 is painted olive drab with a single yellow band towards the nose.

Rocket or Missile Kuwait Shahed-136 series
Analyst Note:
This image shows a screenshot from one of the videos released by the Kuwait Civil Aviation showing a one-way attack (OWA) unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) striking the Kuwait International Airport. The munition’s distinctive delta-wing configuration and general size, shape, and manner of flight are consistent with the Shahed series of OWA UAVs. The related entry shows a Mado MD550 engine recovered following this strike, a model used to power the Shahed-136 series, enabling a more precise identification. (ARES)

Mine Submunition Iran BLU-91/B
Analyst Note:
The BLU-91/B pictured here is an aerially dispensed anti-vehicle scatterable landmine that uses a magnetic-influence fuze to function a shaped charge relying on the Misnay–Schardin Effect. The munition is fitted with three self-destruct delay settings. The aeroballistic adaptor is commonly broken off upon impact and the remnants of the adhesive holding it in place can be seen (yellow). One side of the munition has a bore-riding pin which is held in place while in the dispenser. Once dispensed, the bore riding pin is released and starts the arming process. The BLU-91/B is 121 mm (4.75 in) in diameter and 56 mm (2.6 in) in height. (ARES)
