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.
