Analyst Note

This image shows two MAM-L guided bombs affixed to the wing of a Bayraktar TB2 drone. The MAM-L and TB2 are both produced in Türkiye by Roketsan and Baykar respectively. The MAM-L can have one of three different warheads: blast fragmentation, anti-tank, or thermobaric. The warhead section of each MAM-L in this image has "YIPE/BF" visible. "YIPE" is the abbreviation of the warhead type in Turkish, "Yüksek Infilaklı Parçacık Etkili" or translated as "high explosive fragmentation" in English. The "BF" also denotes these MAM-L as the blast fragmentation variant. The warhead of a MAM-L cannot be externally determined without markings such as this, or a clear view of the data plate, which can be seen on the aft portion of the MAM-L. (ARES)
