Question regarding hellfires/bombs

I was just wondering if hellfires or bombs have the same effect as the Jdam as in... their damage carries through walls. Obviously the blast would be smaller, but i was just wondering if you could kill a squad in a non destructible building by shooting a hellfire on the top of it.

The Jdam dropped by the F16 does have the same effect as far as i know. I assume it applies to the mig as well.

They should though, those missiles are made to cause damage inside a building or vehicle.

Wouldn't that be the general idea with you know, any explosive?

hellfires have shaped charges though. reduces collateral damage but increases penetration

The F-16's bombs CAN cause damage through structures such as the bunkers, but the mig/frogfoot/a10 cannot because they use normal smart bombs, not JDAMS like the F-16. As for hellfires, i dont think it's possible
