Remnants of another TMID-0014 one-way attack UAV reportedly found in Ethiopia, employed by the ENDF.
TMID-0014 Is a temporary designation assigned by ARES for this model of drone that is of UAE origin. This same model drone has been extensively used by the RSF in Sudan.
Are you a London-based researcher with an interest in British legal history? I may have a short research task for you.

Tail fin of an Israeli 120mm mortar projectile, likely a M933/M98, found after strikes in Syria which killed sheep. The M981 ignition cartridge markings are visible.

"New" russian drone warhead : OFBCh-2.5
Just like the previously seen OFBCh-1.7 it is adapted from its OFSP equivalent, here OFSP-2.5, removing the tail meant for drops and employing a P-133 fuze instead of the B-133 , far better suited for uses on FPV drones

This is booster from Chinese DF-15A SRBM in Yemeni Marib province. Ansar Allah (Houthis) forces don't have such missiles, same as Iran. Probably missile was used by Saudi Arabia, there were some speculations that Saudis bought them also as DF-3A and DF-21. xitter.cf/BashaReport/status/209…
What do you think @fab_hinz?
Houthi ballistic missile fell near civilians in Raghwan, Marib, and appears to be a Burkan-3 or Zulfiqar.
According to the @DefenseIntel, the Houthis first launched the Burkan-3 in 2019 and displayed an identical system under the Zulfiqar name in 2021. The DIA assesses a demonstrated range of 1,200 km with a 250 kg payload and says the system is consistent with Iran’s Qiam or Rezvan MRBM.
You can find the full guide of Houthi arsenal here:

DOD thinks it's highly likely the strike that killed civilians at a wedding in Iran was an errant bomb, one of six launched at a comms tower about 440 feet away.

An important early look at three relatively new models of one-way-attack (OWA) UAV, made in the UAE, that have been used to strike targets in Iran and Sudan. My colleague @Easybakeovensz describes some of the key features, including the distinctive Modamer warhead in two models. – at Bangor, Wales

Glad to get this short analysis of three UAE models of one-way attack (OWA) UAVs found in Iran and Sudan out.
Two of the models have been used by the Rapid Support Forces in Sudan.
One model was likely used in attacks on Iran at least as early as March 20.

Among other munitions, this video shows an unknown model of one-way attack (OWA) UAV believed to be produced and employed by the United Arab Emirates (UAE). OSMP has assigned a temporary munitions identifier (TMID) of TMID-0015 to this munition.

I had a very enjoyable time chatting with @historicfirearm. We discussed my recent book, Buckshot & Beehive: 40 mm Anti-personnel Cartridges of the Vietnam War and Beyond, and the various APERS concepts therein.

A new guide from @Easybakeovensz and me explains how crater morphology can help in assessing explosive charge size, munition effects, and firing direction using established methods. It also includes a calculator for investigators working on CDA and other investigations.

The latest book from @headstampbooks is now available for pre-order. Bas Martens has done an excellent job in writing ‘The Real Schmeissers: From the M.P. 18.I to the M.P. 41’, and I am sure it will stand as the definitive work on the topic for some time.
