Air-Delivered Bomb Yemen MK 84 series GBU-31 JDAM JDAM kit
Analyst Note:
This image shows the etched markings of a MK 84 2000-pound class bomb, including model designation, "BOMB MK 84 MOD 4 2000 LBS", part number, "PART NO 30...03 923AS105" and production lot "LOT NO GDT 17 ...00...". Many countries produce MK-80 series bombs, so markings such as lot numbers can determine the country of production. "GDT 17" in the lot number indicates that this bomb was produced by General Dynamics Ordnance and Tactical Systems, an American company, in 2017. The Israeli Air Force announced they carried out this specific strike, indicating that this specific bomb was transferred to the Israeli Air Force. (ARES)

Air-Delivered Bomb Israel BLU-117 GBU-31 JDAM
Analyst Note:
The BLU-117 air-delivered bomb is nearly identical in format to the more common MK 84, but uses the PBXN-109 explosive filler which is more insensitive than the typical explosive compositions found in MK 80-series bombs. The BLU-117 is also coated with a grey, thermally resistant paint, and marked with three yellow bands (as opposed to the green paint with two yellow bands found on standard MK 80-series bombs). These changes were requested by the U.S. Navy for safer storage of these munitions aboard ships. (ARES)
