Looks like a toy to me. From the first photo, I’d guess it is only eight to ten inches long, compared to the grains of sand it is laying on.

Did some more research...

There are several websites selling the plans to 3-D print small replicas of the GBU-53/B that look to be the 8-10 inches in length (not the 8 inches in DIAMETER of the real thing).

I think the Yemenis are trying to fool us that they have the real thing.

Is it really that hard to add a small self-destruct charge that will go off a short time after being armed, to avoid this exact situation.

Never mind, that takes thinking, something we don’t get with our DEI-run military.
