These munitions can be fuzed for airburst or impact.

Tucker Carlson: “My friend Candace Owens is a very smart…Very kind person…she wagered her professional reputation that Macron’s wife is actually a man… and then it turned out she is right.”🤡
The fact that this man is one of the closest people to the President of the U.S. should terrify you.
