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.
And it wasn’t always the case, but people love it when others geek out over their obscure hobby/obsession. A sign of life is much appreciated in the internet world these days.
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.
Some analysis
Allegations he was targeted because he posted this yesterday

He have video after hospital from 5 hours ago. What a day to be alive.
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

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

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
