Closest-ever look at secret US six-blade 'ninja missile' which minces targets without explosives: Video from strike on ISIS commander in Syria shows weapon 'used to kill Iranian general Qassem Soleimani in January'
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]
  • The R9X does not explode and wields six long blades which are stowed inside

  • The blades deploy through the skin of the missile seconds before impact

  • It is believed to have been developed since 2011, and first used in 2017

  • The missile is highly-targeted and leaves behind little collateral damage

  • It was most recently used on June 14 in Syria, according to social media reports
