America's Missile That Uses Sword Blades Instead Of Explosives Has Struck Again In Syria

[The Drive] It appears that the AGM-114R9X, a secret low collateral damage derivative of the AGM-114 Hellfire missile, has been employed against occupants of another vehicle in northwestern Syria. This is the second time this week. Previously, we knew of only one other instance in which the unique missile had been used, back in 2017 when an Al Qaeda kingpin was similarly targeted and killed in western Syria. The War Zone was the first to posit that an exotic new low-collateral damage weapon was being used after images from that strike surfaced.

There are no confirmed reports as to who was targeted in this latest strike, which occurred near the town of Afrin in Aleppo Governorate, although there are some unconfirmed claims. Supposedly, three people were killed in the vehicle when the bladed weapon smashed through the roof of the vehicle. The post-strike video below is very gruesome. You have been warned:

#2 Maybe it's a Houthi weapon? I hear those apes are somehow able to make weapons you wouldn't believe they should be capable of. /sarc

#4 Iran is trying to build their own. It's made of four machete wielding houthis totally high on qat, tied together and launched by a catapult. The Iranian version ululates too as it flies.

#5 Cheap, too. Only $19.95 plus postage and handling, and if you order now, you get a Burke class destroyer absolutely free! Dial 1-800-mincejihadis. Operators are standing by.

#7 ...The idea of a missile that kills with swords is...well, downright Klingon (in the classical sense, not the political term).

I love it. Heghlu'meH QaQ jajvam, jihadi scum.

#12 I propose 'samurai' or 'katana' for the name.
All I know is that it is the cutting edge of technology.
