<\/div>Ninja Bomb<\/h2>
On Tuesday, jihadist leader Abu Ahmad al-Muhajir was traveling by car in Atmeh, Syria, when he was killed by a missile strike.<\/p>
Based on the aftermath of the attack, experts have told The Telegraph<\/em><\/a> they suspect the United States military carried it out using an R9X missile — a weapon, evocatively nicknamed the “ninja bomb,” that crushes its target like an anvil while slicing them up with blades.<\/p> The existence of the R9X<\/a> first came to light in May via a Wall Street Journal<\/em> report.<\/p> Sources told the newspaper that the CIA and the Pentagon had modified an air-to-ground weapon known as a Hellfire missile to kill targets without the use of any explosives, which could cause collateral damage.<\/p> The weapon manages that feat by hurtling toward the ground at a speed nearing 1,609 kilometers per hour (1,000 miles per hour) and extending a series of six blades from itself moments before impact.<\/p> NEW – @WSJ<\/a> confirms the @CIA<\/a> & @DeptofDefense<\/a> have a new \"secret\" missile – the R9X, or \"flying Ginsu\" – which kills a selected target with 6 blades, but no explosive payload.<\/p> — \"To the targeted person, it's as if a speeding anvil fell from the sky.\"https:\/\/t.co\/DIQfnfJYDq<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/iM87WUFLhg<\/a><\/p> — Charles Lister (@Charles_Lister) May 9, 2019<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote> The U.S.-led anti-ISIS coalition in the area told The Telegraph<\/em> it did not carry out the mission that killed al-Muhajir.
