I’ve been wondering why bridge strikes tend to make tiny holes compared to when they hit buildings. Is it because they’re penetrating the surface and exploding under, or just that the bridges are much tougher by construction?

Yes, they are 2-stage bunker-penetrating ammunition. Which, from this perspective, doesn’t seem to be very effective against bridges.

The bunker busting part is almost too effective, going straight through the thing you want to blow up and then exploding further away
