I have a question for anyone who could answer this (GarryB, Werewolf), in this video at '2:20' mark you see a 122 mm Grad warhead explode at an angle in the CGI graphic, is that some sort of directional fragmentation warhead? Usually you only hear about those kind of warheads in SAM missiles.

They are showing that the new warhead comes down perpendicular to the ground, which allows for better fragmentation properties.

The previous version came down non perpendicular, and the fragmentation area was not a perfect circle.

They show a coverage chart in the subsequent scene.
