If they really want to impress me, and have a deep impact on the anxiety level of those dark ages superstition-soaked nitwits, the missile would use blades to do a "Algerian civil war" job on the target. Caution, doing a search will turn up the picture, and you can't unsee it.

Right after the knife bomb does its damage, a mop bomb follows to clean up the mess.

Scaled up version of mechanical hunting broadheads used in archery.

Mechanical broadheads deploy on contact of the target.

I read about this 4 or 5 years ago. It is designed to cut automotive body steel and anything else that might be in the way. It’s a smart bomb designed to strike a car and kill anyone inside, but not harm people standing near the car.

Never been a fan of mechanicals. The original Magnus work great. Re-sharpenable carbon steel. Hell yeah.

I do not believe this. A hellfire missile cost about 115,000 dollars. One assumes really bad guys are surrounded by other bad guys. Kill them all with maximum blast radius. If by chance innocents are with them (not likely) the bad guy put them in the area of death, not us. Maximum blast radius is good.

The blades must be rounded because pointy is a war crime.

Definitely not cost effective. An LGB or Jdam probably costs less and does the job. Make them smaller and still get your target for less $. Not the DOD way.

That script is right outta classic 1950s/60s Mad comic and later magazine!

Much better than this poorly drawn slobbering crud praising Justice Ginsberg that Warner Brothers' New Mad published shortly before pulling the plug on new material.
