SUBSONIC EYE SKIN
According to the Wall Street Journal, the R9X, which was developed reportedly under the Obama administration, with focus on reducing civilian casualties, “comes equipped with a different kind of payload: a halo of six long blades that are stowed inside and then deploy through the skin of the missile seconds before impact to ensure that it shreds anything in its tracks”.
A latest and peculiar addition to the line of Hellfire missiles is the Hellfire R9X which uses pop-out sword blades to kill targets with minimal collateral damage-designed for targeted killings.R9X Hellfire Ninja Missile (Image courtesy: The Sun) “No matter how long it takes, no matter where you hide, if you are a threat to our people, the United States will find you and take you out.” Also Read - Al Qaeda Chief Ayman-Al-Zawahiri Killed In US Drone Strike, His Journey From Eye Surgeon To Becoming Most Wanted TerroristĬonfirming his killing, US President Joe Biden said, “Now Justice has been delivered, and this terrorist leader is no more.” In a televised address to the nation from the White House on Monday, Biden said. Reportedly, Al-Zawahri was standing on the balcony of his hideout when the two Hellfire missiles were launched from an unmanned drone by the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). This shows that the US used the macabre Hellfire R9X, a warhead-less missile believed to be equipped with six razor-like blades extending from the fuselage that slices through its target but does not explode, to kill him. As per the AFP report, al-Zawahiri was killed by two missiles fired at his Kabul home but pictures showed no sign of an explosion and US officials say no one else was harmed.
