CIA's Solution to Killing Too Many Civilians: Knife Bomb

The CIA and the U.S. military have been using a new type of missile during some drone strikes in recent years, according to a report in the Wall Street Journal. What makes this new missile unique? It doesn’t explode and instead deploys sharp blades, hitting targets “like a speeding anvil” from the sky.

The new missile, which has never been acknowledged publicly before today, is called the R9X and is a variant of the Hellfire missile. But unlike a traditional Hellfire, the R9X is designed with six long blades that only emerge from the missile seconds before impact. The R9X, nicknamed the “flying Ginsu” by insiders, doesn’t contain a warhead. The goal, according to anonymous U.S. officials speaking with the Journal, is to reduce unnecessary casualties and hopefully only kill the person who was targeted in the first place.

It works on people, but, with this Amazing Sham Wow, you can clean the mess RIGHT OUT OF YOUR CAR!

It slices! It dices! It juliennes!

[waterhill]

I wanna see it cut an aluminum can first, then an tomato.

[HighSierra5]

Too much time and money on these developers hands. Scary.

[Flick Lives]

Order before midnight and get TWO for the price of one. And we’ll include the magic juicer.

A $Million or so to kill one person? Sounds like a Biden family contract.

Whoever the target is, some boys down the street would go Gitter Done for a few thousand.

This reminds me of the scene in “The 300” where the men carry shields over their heads to protect against arrows.

Someone is days away from having real steel umbrellas.

[LouieFisk]

So, the idea here is that sharp flying cutlery is the safe way to go. OK.

[tbw2]

It is a bomb with really big shrapnel.

[TexasGator]

Interesting to see their leader sliced and diced!

It kinda reminds me of the weaponry they’d give to Maxwell Smart.

BS. Maybe this particular model. But these knife missiles were discussed on FR threads a few years ago, along with pictures of their resulting kills, slicing and dicing targets with deployed knives.
