MunitionsAGM-154 JSOWAir-launched guided glide bombThe AGM-154 Joint Standoff Weapon is a U.S.-built, 1,000-pound-class air-launched guided glide bomb that gives carrier and tactical aircraft a GPS/INS-guided standoff option against fixed land targets. In the Yemen Civil War archive it is represented through documented U.S. Navy F/A-18 loadouts for strikes against Houthi forces during the 2025 Red Sea escalation.

MunitionsAl-Mandab-1 anti-ship cruise missileAnti-ship cruise missileAl-Mandab-1 is the Houthi designation for a Chinese C-801-family anti-ship cruise missile. Open-source reporting ties it to pre-war Yemeni stocks and shows Houthi forces fielding it during the Yemen Civil War, while the exact C-801 or C-802 variant remains uncertain.

MunitionsAl-Mandab-2 anti-ship cruise missileAnti-ship cruise missileAl-Mandab-2 is the Houthi designation for a long-range anti-ship cruise missile used in the Yemen Civil War against Red Sea shipping. UN reporting described it as a seven-meter, 300-kilometer system with micro-turbojet propulsion and noted strong external similarities to the C-802 and Iran's Ghader/Ghadir family.

MunitionsALARM anti-radiation missileAir-launched anti-radiation missileALARM is a British air-launched anti-radiation missile built for suppression of enemy air defenses, using pre-planned navigation and passive radar homing with direct and parachute-loiter attack modes. In the Yemen Civil War record, it appears as a UK-supplied Royal Saudi Air Force munition used during Saudi-led coalition air operations rather than as a fully documented radar-kill case.

MunitionsBadr-F guided rocketGuided artillery rocketThe Badr-F guided rocket is a Houthi-developed precision-guided artillery rocket in the Badr family, reported in 2019 with an air-burst warhead and use in Yemen Civil War cross-border strikes.

MunitionsBurkan-2H ballistic missileScud-derived ballistic missileThe Burkan-2H is the Houthi designation for an Iranian Qiam-1-derived, Scud-type ballistic missile used in the Yemen Civil War for long-range strikes against Saudi targets. Open-source reporting links it to 2017 launches toward Yanbu and Riyadh and to the broader Houthi missile campaign.
