  1.  @stevebuckley7788  To me it seemed like the missile didn't explode in this video, though I'm not 100% certain.

  2.  @stevebuckley7788  It's not the size of the splash as such. I just don't see a moment where the explosion could have happened. If the explosion would have happened right on contact with water I think we could have seen the explosion itself with at least some smoke included. You could try to argue that the explosion happened a bit later when the missile was already below the water surface. However, that doesn't seem likely to me either. I think then we would have likely seen two separate splashes for impact and explosion. Also, I think the shape of the splash doesn't seem to match an underwater explosion. From what I've seen (from videos, not IRL) underwater explosions seem generate a splash straight upward, not one that splits into somewhat angled splashes. You can also see the effect of the explosion in a wider area on the surface around the splash in the center.

  3. You have to take into account that the missile appears to hit the water surface sideways.
