Al Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahiri was killed Monday by America’s secretive and gruesome R9X Hellfire missile — which is also known as the “flying Ginsu.”
The strangest variant in the Hellfire family of missiles — built as a precision weapon of targeted assassination — the R9X’s most distinguishing characteristic is that it doesn’t explode and simply uses its weight, momentum and blade-like appendages to kill.
First revealed by the Wall Street Journal in 2019, the modified R9X trades the standard Hellfire’s explosive warhead for a halo of six metal fins that look like swords and are sharp enough to slice through concrete and steel on their way to a target.
The lethal payload has earned the R9X nicknames like “the flying Ginsu” or “the Ninja bomb” within the defense community.

He’s died more times than Sean Bean.
“the modified R9X trades the standard Hellfire’s explosive warhead for a halo of six metal fins that look like swords and are sharp enough to slice through concrete and steel on their way to a target”
Yeah... that’s gonna leave a mark.
I don’t know who they killed, but if Biden says it was Al-Zawahiri, then you can bank on the fact that it wasn’t him.
Nothing Biden claims to be true is the truth. Nothing.
He was reported dead before Biden took office.
Why should any of us believe this?
Pretty soon the “Bag-o-Glass” will be laser guided.
How come no pictures or video of the aftermath have come out. Sounds odd.
Harry’s blades?
LMAO!!!!!!! Perfect!!!!
“secretive and gruesome R9X Hellfire missile ... for assassination”
because otherwise war is not gruesome or secretive?
Where’s the Death Certificate?
If that is the evolution, then expect military and political leaders to seclude themselves in impenetrable fortresses designed to resist these kinds of “smart bombs” or bunker busters. For every escalation, there is a counter-escalation.
“where precision weapons are used to kill the political, military, business and technical elite of the adversary”
Will Trump voters ultimately be the adversary?
I’m with ace of spades.
I want proof of the kill.
Sweet!

Brandon couldn't have taken it because he was too busy patting himself on the back.
Looks like it went through the big window.
Doesn’t anyone wonder how it takes so many years to find these guys? They’ve been looking for this guy for more than 20 years… and just when another Democrat administration needs a tough guy looking victory… they finally get a bead on him and turn him into chopped liver. One might begin to suspect the “community” saves some low hanging fruit especially for rescuing Democrat feebs.
NY Post is now the US version of the Daily Mail. Mouth piece for the cabal. I’m surprised they didn’t take out Putin with the same shot.
