Air to air missiles have proximity fuzes and the pattern of the shrapnel is roughly a disk normal to the missile - so not that precise.

Or do you think it was actually a laser-guided air-ground missile?

It was an AIM-9X Sidewinder, with the warhead removed.

The missile clearly fuses, it had a warcranium. Where are you and others getting the idea that the missile had no warcranium?
