Ever heard of a missile that doesnt explode?
That, the Wall Street Journal reports, is a key feature of a secret weapon adapted by the US military.
Its a modified version of a Hellfire missile that hits pinpoint targets but doesnt explode on impact, meaning reduced damage and less risk of civilian casualties.
The weapon, which the Journal likens to a speeding anvil falling out of the sky, is known as R9X. But it also has a nickname, the flying Ginsu, inspired by its hidden ring of six blades, which emerges just before impact and shreds anything it meets.

In fact I only worked on a piece of the things that were out there. The people who really knew were somewhat spooky.

Don’t need the blender part when a safe is dropped on your head from 35000 feet.

I never knew the code name for the experiment I was mentioning, I suppose it had one though.
