Too bad they didn't use "Mr. Fusion."

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.

Good point. I thought they used this same missile to kill him the past 4 times.
At least that could explain why two of them produced no colleterial damage. Several humans just yards away unscathed according to media reports.
If it doesn’t explode, then why does television news keep showing a foggy video of a distant smoldering building? I think the whole story is contrived bs intended to help Biden’s approval rating. Too convenient for this administration to suggest the guy was chopped to pieces because then we cannot expect to see the body, can we? Lies and more lies.
POPEIL’S R9X Hellfire missile. It slices ... It dices ... Makes thousands of Julienne fries ... FROM RONCO !!!
My God! They killed Dr. Demento!
AGM-114R9X
Wouldn’t that be 4 blades?
Else the moniker should be AGM-114R9*...
If leaders seclude themselves in impenetrable fortresses, they will be much less able to lead.
And can they trust their “inner circle”?
>>Will Trump voters ultimately be the adversary?
Are Trump voters the elites?
“they will be much less able to lead”
Hmm, well everyone else gets to “work from home”, why not them?
I suppose if they need to make public appearances for morale they can recruit doubles.
whatta ya gonna do with that lawn mower blade?
i reckon i’m gonna kill you with it.
you better get on with it then.
Just wait until the Happy Fun Ball is weaponized.
Heart for making salads!
Biden:
“Getting the vaccine will prevent you from getting Covid.”
“We are not in a recession.”
“I never discussed business with my son, Hunter.”
“The new climate bill will not raise taxes.”
“We killed al-Zawahiri with a drone missile in Kabul.”
And does anyone here believe anything that Biden says?
Too bad they didn't use "Mr. Fusion."
It’s a real salad maker.
His staff is trying to declare that Biden has become a real Trump.
Lol! Chop, Chop, Chop in a fraction of a second!!! He must have been a splat mark!
I do believe him when he said ‘we’ve put together the most extensive voter fraud system...’ (can’t remember the specific/exact quote). Other than that, I don’t believe anything he says.
48 kilograms (just north of 100 pounds in freedom units) moving at transonic speed, with six sharpish blades sticking out of it, and with laser guidance? That’s going to leave some chunky salsa if they get a clean hit. That’s a very interesting application of a precision anti-tank missile that’s been around for 25+ years.

“‘ninja bomb’ that uses blades to kill”
I certainly hope that bomb didn’t kill any of the 72 virgins waiting for him.
