That’s pretty much undeniably a mk82 warhead. Which are fitted with different tail sections and other guidance systems for whatever they want to be used for. If the report is correct in that it was a 200lb load with 300lbs of metal, that would be the mk82 mod 7. Which likely has a Israeli tail section made for low altitude deployment with high precision.
Going by the tail section (and lack of wings), it looks like this was a mk82 fitted with a Paveway II system, which would make sense given that this was likely intended to be used to demolish the bridge he’s standing on…
In my case, autism. UXO/equipment identification is a hobby. If you think that’s weird you should see how weird I got when they let me poke around in the Southern Pacific 4294 cab…
Lemmy has a crowd of experts and academics in certain fields, but also weird hobbyists that expertise themselves for fun on a certain topic. Sometimes they are the same person.
Either way it’s clearly different surroundings, and the missile in the video goes into a crater where a previous missile hit, while this still shows a missile hitting flat terrain
Edit: silly me, it’s just zoomed in. And the rocket hits a little farther back from the crater, not in the existing crater.
Not saying this info is wrong but the fins on the bombs in those pictures look very different. I’m no bomb expert of course

Dang I didn’t know they could swap parts like like

Paveway tail/nose for comparison
How do people know so much about bombs?
Missile autists

I don’t gotta be an expert to know he’s talking about trains XD That’s awesome man I’m still trying to learn how to install arch on my own
