#5 I like the 4X Ninja switchblades.
One for the driver, one for the shotgun seat and two for the rear seats.
I would not want to trust a single Ninja switchblade to get all four occupants with a strike.
Is the R9X just a gravity bomb, IE no use of propellant?
I think even stand-off (glide) bombs don't necessarily need any propellant within the glide range (altitude times the glide ratio)?
At a thousand miles an hour the R9X obviously is not intended to be a glider.
