The journey of two senior Al Qaeda-aligned commanders in northwestern Syria on Sunday was suddenly cut short by a targeted U.S.-led strike only it doesn't appear that they were killed by explosives, but a missile packed with knives.
Video of the aftermath circulating on social media shows that the vehicle of the terrorist leaders Jordanian Qassam ul-Urdini and Yemeni Bilal al-Sanaani was mostly untouched, with just one side severed and the roof smashed in, prompting defense analysts to point to the use of a "secret" missile jointly developed by both the Department of Defense and the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA).
It is a variation of the Hellfire anti-tank missile, referred to as the R9X, and internally called the "Flying Ginsu" or the "ninja bomb," and it just might drastically shape the way war is waged given its exactitude and subsequent ability to vastly reduce the risk of collateral damage and civilian casualties.

Doesn’t sound like much of a secret now does it?

I remember the one on the left and claymores, frags and such. Anti veteran protesters had quite sharp tongs. Come to think of it their minds are not sharp now but their tongs still are.

There is nothing secret about the 9x “Flying Ginsu” which has taken out a fair number of jihadi leaders in the past 2 years.
