are there any documented cases of (intentionally) explosive pigs?

might be handy for decommissioning pipelines that have outlived their political purpose, in places that make it difficult to establish who did it.

I like this theory, very creative. However I don’t think it would work unless you control both ends of the pipeline, since you need flow in the pipeline to move the pig and this flow would be noticeable along the entire pipeline.

Perf guns are similar to what you are describing.
