a concrete block three feet long used as a bomb substitute would weigh no

Incorrect, a concrete block 3ft long and 6" square will weigh
over 100 lbs. If its 1ft square it'll weigh 400 pounds

Doesn't make a deep crater when falling from an aircraft at a lowlevel
penetration mission.


But does from medium/high level !

The RAF used concrete filled laser guided bombs to take out
precision targets in Basra , it destroys the room but no the
rest of the building.

They are really great for tank plinking, too. When the bad guys put a
tank next to a hospital or school, the concrete bomb taked out the tank
without touching the building next to it.
