    The IDF has capability for airburst… In fact, the JDAM package has an LJDAM extension with airburst capability. Not sure a crater proves much.

    The principal military advantage of an air burst over a ground burst is that the energy from the explosion (as well as any shell fragments) is distributed more evenly over a wider area; however, the peak energy is lower at ground zero.
