So where in the aircraft did this missile explode?

Sorry, I'm typing too fast. That should say: What do you mean by the term "identify"?

The explosion took place out side the plane just in front of the wing (I don't remember which wing it has been a long time since i read up on this. But that is easy to figure out by looking at which wing 'fell off')

Kestrel was also adapted for anti-aircraft. Unlike it's antitank implosion, largely due to the tank's contact with the ground, Kestrel acts like a high velocity spear puncturing the thin A/C skin and exiting the opposite side.

Just a thought.
