Not exactly...... Its whats called an EFP. It got hit on the underside just below the driver/gunner there is no floor in the vehicle.went straight up thru the turret and the shrapnel from the floor killed the others.
Maybe your stoner ass is trying to have more insight into something you know nothing of, just a thought.
For addition, the general anti vehicle bombs in warzones currently occupied by nato and / or mixed countries is the nasty fuckers they plant next to the road.
Pressure plate, bomb in the sand next to the road, vehicle drives over, blast hits directly from the side, big fucking mess.
The dutch call it a "Bermbom" and it's the most primitive trap you'll find in those parts. Also, that mostly explains the lack of burn damage, because it's a "household" explosive, and not military grade. (well, not usually.)
Bomb explodes, a lot of dirt and crap long the road hit the car first before the initial blast wave, then comes the after heat from the explosion itself. the dirt and other stuff gets smacked into the car, causing minor kinetic damage, followed by the heat and shrapnel from the container. The dirt acts as the primary dampener for the heat (eg: inefficient) so the larger part of the damage is from the shrapnel itself.
Also most types of assault vehicles have (like k8 mentioned) open sides, bottoms or small openings on any side of the vehicle. No idea why they did this exactly, but the dutch counterpart has the same openings (add variation of course)
So that (i hope) explains the fact why there's hardly any burn damage or scorch marks on vehicle carcasses after they are retrieved. Also, the results vary greatly when higher yield explosives are used (military grade) etc etc.
