Against aircraft tens or even hundreds of kilometers away, fragment warheads are fully sufficient.
However, against ballistic missiles diving down from overhead at speeds of Mach 10 or even Mach 20, it is certainly not enough.
Many intercepted "Scuds" and "Husseins," even if hit by "Divine Archers," had debris fall near their targets.
According to unverified reports, the missile that hit the Riyadh "Imperial Hotel" had already been intercepted, and what hit the hotel was a fuel tank that detached after interception, containing some toxic chemical fuel inside.
In any case, Iraq's ballistic missiles are indeed a major threat.
To counter these ballistic missiles and stabilize Saudi Arabia and other Allies, the Empire Air Force deployed dozens of "War-16A" aircraft specifically to hunt ballistic missile launch vehicles.
Of course, they achieved very good results.
