A Gulf newspaper reported the strike involved modified Hellfire R9X ‘Ninja’ missiles, which have warheads with pop-out spinning blades designed to minimise collateral damage.
Instead of exploding, the missile is armed with six long blades that extend just before impact, effectively shredding their targets.
“Ninja” missiles that shred. It gets even better. Kinda like Bruce Lee with steel razor sharp blades for arms. Love it. Thanks!
The explosion caught on the CCTV looked relatively small, so I think it may have been the “Ninja” or some other smaller missile.
