Bellingcat Challenge #94 “In the Ruins”
What is the full name of the munition that this is a remnant of?
Solution
Reverse image searches did not turn up any useful leads. Looking for similar items in the Open Source Munitions Portal, I found a JDAM kit in the Air-Delivered Bomb category and learned about the Joint Direct Attack Munition.
I judged the OSMP901 entry to be the closest match based on the shapes of the tail fins and fittings. The challenge text also mentioned parts that were “more distant to the explosive filler,” which I felt was consistent with the intended answer.
