The U.S.-led military coalition in Syria likely used a unique variant of the beloved Hellfire missile to kill a mercenary trainer who recently worked with an al Qaeda-affiliated militant group there, according to photos from the scene of the strike.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported last week that a drone strike likely affiliated with the U.S.-led international military coalition in the country was responsible for killing Abu Yahya al-Uzbeki, an independent "military trainer" recently affiliated with the al Qaeda-linked Hurras Al-Din organization, while he was traveling in Syria's Idlib province.
Photos of the aftermath of the strike on al-Uzbeki's vehicle show a relatively intact car rather than a fiery wreck, suggesting that, as with similar strikes in the region, the coalition employed the notorious R9X variant of the AGM-114 Hellfire missile, a non-explosive weapon that can best be described as a 100-pound flying switchblade.

LOL That’s the best post yet.
Looks like Sausage.
Looks like porridge. With some Tabasco sauce.
“I wonder if they saw it coming at the last second?”
I guess some people are knocked unconscious at impact, but some that are cleanly cut, might not only see it at the last second, but remain conscious for some time, before the blood/oxygen runs out to their brain.
Heads severed by the the guillotine were often observed to have their eyes still tracking people’s movements, and mouths that were apparently moving, as if to speak.
“What a mess for the guys parting out the car.”
But because it is not burnt or blown up, the get more usable parts - and not just car parts. So there’s that.
Those sword blades need to be covered with a lubricant or rust preventative. I suggest hog fat.
LoL! I wonder how many Freepers will recognize your very American cinematic reference. I can see the Munchkin coroner now...

...Abu Yahya al-Uzbeki...
Greetings from the homeland of the late Ron Popeil...
Must have been an Uzbek.
Now look, it's okay for us to kill the bastard, but such gross ethnic insensitivity is just completely out of line.
And here it comes...
So... would this thing work on a group of, lets say, a bunch of losers dressed in black, wearing skateboard helmets and carrying shields made from cut 55 gallon plastic drums?
Just asking.
Now he's just ooze.
Slices onions before theres even time to cry!
What's the difference between Abu Yahya al-Uzbeki and an onion? Nobody cries when you slice up Abu Yahya al-Uzbeki.
Some of those will buff right out.

“Has got nothin’ on the Flying Guillotine”
I, too, saw that movie.
Also, ,most auto insurers offering full coverage will send the windshield replacement service right to place where the car is parked.
Lets hope so!
