I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'explosive' is the definition.
(I know that warhead is a type of explosive)

I can't explain the remainder of the clue.

(Other definitions for warhead that I've seen before include "bit of a weapon" , "Missile explosive unit" , "Missile's explosive" , "explosive container" , "Explosive part of a weapon" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
