Air-Delivered Bomb Yemen GBU-24 Paveway III series Paveway kit
Analyst Note:
This image shows a remnant of a control fin from a Paveway III bomb guidance kit that is compatible with 2,000-pound-class air-delivered bombs. In U.S. service, this combination receives designations in the GBU-24 series. Based off this remnant alone, it cannot be determined which model of air-delivered bomb was paired with this particular guidance kit. (ARES)

This remnant is not enough to determine which model of bomb the kit was originally paired with. (ARES)
