How in the world can you tell it is a “shrapnel warhead”. I’m no weapons expert (you obviously aren’t either), but I’m pretty positive most shrapnel warheads detonate well above the ground to pepper the target with shrapnel and have a much wider area of kill. This bomb clearly penetrated the road and exploded just like a high explosive warhead would, which is used to destroy buildings and bridges and whatnot.
I do not see an article linked in this post, but again, if you look at the frame by frame, it’s not a shrapnel warhead, and whoever say it is does not know what they are talking about. It is a high explosive warhead that is designed to penetrate the object they are targeting and then explode from within to cause as much damage to the structure as possible. A shrapnel warhead would have little to no effect on a concrete and rebar structure.
You were absolutely wrong. In the two frames, you can see the bomb just as it penetrates the roadway, and then the next frame shows the explosion is obviously happening from underneath
/inside of the bridge from the way the blast looks. You are bullshitting and don’t know what you’re talking about. And again, I’m no expert, but I clearly know more than you. This was a high explosive warhead not anything designed to create shrapnel as a primary goal. Obligatory fuck genocidal religious nut job Israel but making shit up doesnt help anyone and ruins the credibility of people spreading the lie.
I mean it definitely looks like a low bridge there’s railing on either side and the big hole in the center of it looks like a hole in a bridge.
This is very common in the Ukraine-Russian war where both sides launch multiple munitions across a bridge to take it fully down in the center.
You can also see all the rebar sticking up in the first hole, which definitely indicates it is a bridge and not a road. Roads don’t have rebar through them. Bridges do.
Look at my other comment to prole, it’s absolutely not a “shrapnel warhead”. A warhead with shrapnel as its main design would detonate well above the ground and pepper the ground with shrapnel and would have little effect on a bridge.
Blowing up bridges with shrapnel warheads. Sure.
Edit: since everyone thinks I’m a liar, I’m basing this info on OP’s comment in this post that added more info:

My mistake, I was referring to the comment OP made with additional info. Take it or leave it I guess.

How can you tell? Genuinely interested as I thought the shrapnel was just blasted rubble.

Oh thank you, I meant for the type of warhead.

Saw it, makes sense to me, thanks.

It wouldn’t be all shrapnel. There’s obviously explosives too.
It’s in the article
Ah,
shame on me.Edit: Wait, it’s a video, what article?
