Somehow this bomb doesn't look like it was built by the Russians or the Iranians. It looks like an IED, maybe built by the Syrians, but not any kind of sophisticated munitions.

They were made by the Germans and sold to Iran.

If a chemical bomb had been dropped from a jet, from ANY altitude, would the bed it had landed on still be standing?

Dropped vertically, lands horizontally without breaking a wooden bed stand, virtually without a scratch after knocking a (round) hole three times it’s length in a concrete roof? Having worked with various air-dropped munitions, I’ve seen some weird stuff, but this is truly amazing!

The fins, even improvised would have given the round a relatively straight downward trajectory, and it would have punched straight down through the roof and embedded in the ground. The path of travel cannot be reconciled with physics. Simple observation proves traveling in that path would have resulted in a skip off the roof.

I recently sold an old propane tank that was just about that size and it weighed well over 200 lbs empty. Dropped from any significant height, it would crush whatever it landed on. I know—it landed vertically, but became airborne when the released has rocketed it across the house after the evil djinn was released.
