    Photos show devastation unleashed on terror leaders by sword-carrying ‘Ninja bomb’

    Photos show devastation unleashed on terror leaders by sword-carrying ‘Ninja bomb’

    Although developed in 2011, defense officials are only now talking about it. Probably because pictures of the damage caused by one was published.

    The R9X is a non-exploding missile. It does have 6 blades that deploy seconds before impact- that is what kills the target while creating much less collateral damage.

    Detailed reports first surfaced in 2019 of the existence of a precision warhead equipped with six sword-like blades that allow the missile to cut through buildings or cars with ease.
    The weapon had been in use for some time, reports claimed, with development dating back as far as 2011 under former President Barack Obama. It wasn’t until 2019, however, that over a dozen current and former U.S. officials discussed the vicious attributes of the R9X — also known as “the flying Ginsu” or “ninja bomb” — a non-explosive munition that was spawned from the widely used Hellfire missile.


    The R9X, which deploys its six fixed blades in a halo seconds before impact, is believed to have been designed with the intent of eliminating high-value targets while drastically reducing the risk of collateral damage, traits multiple officials believe should have been publicly disclosed years ago to illustrate a willingness to minimize civilian deaths in densely populated urban centers in Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, Somalia or Yemen.

    One noteworthy R9X strike was reportedly carried out in January 2019 on Jamel Ahmed Mohammed Ali al-Badawi, an FBI most-wanted terrorist who was accused of orchestrating the deadly October 2000 bombing of the destroyer Cole.
    The longtime al-Qaida operative was reportedly driving alone in Yemen when the R9X fell from the sky, shredding the vehicle and its driver.


    After-action photos revealed no signs of scorched earth or burning vehicles typical of a Hellfire missile strike.

    Interesting, it cause little or no collateral damage.
