AGM-114 Hellfire series
A U.S.-designed air-to-surface missile used for precision strikes. It is also less commonly used as a surface-to-surface or air-to-air missile. The munition can be deployed by aircraft including drones and helicopters such as the AH-64 Apache, as well as ground-based launcher platforms. With an effective range of up to 11 km, the missile uses either laser or radar guidance depending on the variant. Hellfires commonly use high explosive fragmentation (HE-FRAG) or shaped charge (e.g., high explosive anti-tank; HEAT) warheads, but novel variants have also been developed. The missile has seen extensive use during conflicts in Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Gaza and Ukraine.

Analyst Note:
This image shows remnants of two different rocket motors from AGM-114 series "Hellfire" missiles. While it cannot be determined by these entries alone, images of the damage from the strike gathered by Mwatana indicate that both of these AGM-114 missiles were the kinetic AGM-114R9X variant. (ARES)
Analyst Note:
This image shows the rocket motor of an AGM-114 "Hellfire" series guided missile found in Jordan during the 12 day conflict between Israel and Iran. This specific Hellfire missile is likely an air-to-air "C-UAS" variant used to intercept one-way attack drones, such as those launched by Iran towards Israel, rather than the more common air-to-surface Hellfire missile variants.

US munitions used in Yemen 2025
Verified images of U.S. munitions during the Trump administration’s bombing campaign against the Iranian-backed Houthi militant and political group.
Analyst Note:
In this image, four AGM-114 Hellfire-series missiles can be seen fitted to an M299-series missile launcher, itself attached to the stub wings of this Israeli AH-64 Apache helicopter. In theory, the Apache could be armed with up to sixteen Hellfire missiles, but fewer are carried in practice to allow for other weapons and sensor payloads (ARES).
