(((whoa-- one helluva a weapon !! ))))
Biden had Reaper drone drop 'ninja bomb'
on ISIS-K operatives in Afghanistan.
The United States used a weapon known as
__"the flying Ginsu" or "ninja bomb"
against suspected ISIS-K operatives in Afghanistan.
"The Pentagon used a special Hellfire missile that
packsno explosives to strike Islamic State militants
in Afghanistan on Saturday in retaliation for a
suicide bomb attack at the Kabul airport last week,"
The Wall Street Journal reported Saturday,
citing "two U.S. officials."
"The missile used by the U.S. in the airstrike, called an R9X,
is inert. Instead of exploding, the weapon ejects a halo
of six large blades stowed inside the skin of the missile,
which deploy at the last minute to shred the target
of the strike, allowing military commanders to pinpoint their target and reduce the possibility for civilian casualties,"
the newspaper reported.
The use of the special Hellfire missile, which inside the military is referred to colloquially as
__“the flying Ginsu,”
recalling the popular knives sold on TV infomercials
in the 1970s, hadn’t been disclosed.
The weapon also has been dubbed the “ninja bomb.”
Obi-- that ninja knife was before my tv comerchial time--
