AGM-88 HARMAir-to-surface anti-radiation missileSide: UkraineBuilt: Raytheon Co. / United StatesThe AGM-88 HARM is a U.S. high-speed anti-radiation missile built to home on radar emissions from enemy air-defense systems. In the Russia-Ukraine War, U.S.-supplied HARMs gave Ukrainian aircraft a suppression-of-enemy-air-defenses weapon for forcing or striking Russian radar systems despite the missile's original integration with Western aircraft.Tag archive

Archer155 mm wheeled self-propelled howitzerSide: UkraineBuilt: BAE Systems Bofors / SwedenArcher is a Swedish 155 mm L52 wheeled self-propelled howitzer built around rapid automated firing and displacement from an armored cab. In Ukrainian service it adds NATO-caliber mobile tube artillery, with Sweden documenting both donated Archer systems and follow-on barrel support after intensive wartime use.
BrimstoneAnti-tank guided missileSide: UkraineBuilt: MBDA UK / United KingdomBrimstone is a British MBDA precision-guided anti-armor missile built around millimetric-wave radar guidance, with later variants adding semi-active laser and inertial navigation options. In Ukraine it has been adapted from its original air-launched role into a donated ground-launched anti-tank capability for striking Russian armor and formations.
GBU-57 Massive Ordnance PenetratorPrecision-guided bunker-buster bombSide: United StatesBuilt: Boeing / United StatesThe GBU-57 Massive Ordnance Penetrator is a U.S. Air Force deep-penetration munition built for heavily protected facilities and documented in its first operational use during strikes on Iranian nuclear sites.
HarpoonCoastal and anti-ship cruise missile systemSide: UkraineBuilt: The Boeing Company / United StatesHarpoon is a U.S.-origin all-weather anti-ship cruise missile family built around active radar terminal homing and sea-skimming flight. In the Russia-Ukraine War, Ukraine received land-based Harpoon coastal defense systems and adapted truck-launched RGM-84 missiles to threaten Russian surface ships operating near the Black Sea coast.
9K720 IskanderRoad-mobile tactical ballistic and cruise missile systemSide: RussiaBuilt: Kolomna Machine-Building Design Bureau (KBM); Votkinsk Machine Building Plant; Production Association Barrikady / RussiaThe 9K720 Iskander is a Russian road-mobile tactical missile system that launches short-range ballistic missiles and, in Iskander-K configuration, ground-launched cruise missiles. In the Russia-Ukraine War it has served as one of Russia's principal precision-strike systems for attacks beyond the immediate front line.
Kh-47M2 KinzhalAir-launched aeroballistic missileSide: RussiaBuilt: Russian Ministry of Defense / Russian defense industry / RussiaThe Kh-47M2 Kinzhal is a Russian air-launched aeroballistic missile carried by modified aircraft such as the MiG-31K. It is reported to be derived from the Iskander-M missile family and gives Russia a high-speed conventional or nuclear-capable strike option used in the Russia-Ukraine War.
ZALA LancetLoitering munitionSide: RussiaBuilt: ZALA Aero Group / RussiaThe ZALA Lancet is a Russian electric loitering munition with a distinctive dual X-wing layout, launched from a catapult and guided by an onboard television channel for terminal attack. In the Russia-Ukraine War it became one of Russia's prominent tactical strike UAVs, used against Ukrainian artillery, air-defense systems, armor, vehicles, and other battlefield targets.
M270 MLRSTracked multiple launch rocket systemSide: UkraineBuilt: Lockheed Martin / United StatesThe M270 MLRS is a tracked, armored multiple launch rocket system built around two launch-pod containers for guided rockets or tactical missiles. In Ukrainian service during the Russia-Ukraine War, donated M270-family launchers complement HIMARS by carrying a larger rocket load on a heavier tracked chassis for long-range precision fires.
Storm ShadowAir-launched cruise missileSide: UkraineBuilt: MBDA / United Kingdom / FranceStorm Shadow is the UK name for the Franco-British Storm Shadow/SCALP air-launched cruise missile, a low-observable deep-strike weapon built by MBDA for precision attacks on hardened or high-value fixed targets. In the Russia-Ukraine War, UK-supplied missiles gave Ukraine a longer-range conventional strike option that was integrated onto Su-24 aircraft.
Tochka-URoad-mobile tactical ballistic missile systemSide: Russia / UkraineBuilt: Kolomna Machine Building Design Bureau (KBM) / Soviet Union / RussiaTochka-U is the upgraded 9K79-1/OTR-21 short-range tactical ballistic missile system, carried on a wheeled transporter-erector-launcher and designed for battlefield strikes with high-explosive or cluster warheads. In the Russia-Ukraine War it appears as a legacy Soviet missile system used by both sides, giving Ukraine an indigenous long-range strike option early in the invasion while also appearing in documented Russian attacks.
