Taliban leader sliced and diced.

[Resasi]

The ‘Ginsu' missile has apparent now been deployed in Afghanistan. Key Taliban commander killed in an air strike in Kunduz, the Interior Ministry reports.

The ministry has reported that Afghan forces carried out an air strike last night in Imam Saheb district.

The Taliban's chief financial officer for the northeast of the country was killed in the incident.

The bladed AGM-114R9X impact weapon was used to surgically remove him as he moved through a crowded district with no collateral casualties.

A singularly appropriate high tech US response to Muslim beheadings.

America's Shadowy Sword Wielding Hellfire Missile Has Migrated To The Afghan Battlefield

The introduction of this exotic weapon to Afghanistan underlines its expanded use for targeted assassinations that we have seen in recent months.

Beautiful, isn't it ? Almost poetic, a Haiku in its simple effectiveness.
Combining cutting edge Western military technology with Middle Eastern scimitars and producing a very personalised Fcuk You.

Not to mention a very messy, distressing and mind-focusing body recovery job for the bad guys. Win win.

What's not to like? Add a 'Jericho-Trompete', and it would be even more awesome!

Could have been an Informative. I saw the term and pictured a Stuka. Google is my friend.

No doubt the lefties and hand wringers will see this as terrible, but if you are going to fire a missile at someone it is going to kill them, and this version avoids collateral damage. I cannot see Russia, China, or Iran taking such care to only kill the target.

Maybe I am cynical, but the anti Western types on social media will be all over this.

Its magnificant. This must be what Trump was referring to in his big beautifull weapons tweet to iran recently

Delivered by a JU87 would be an awesome way of dispatching a few of the stabby, bomby bastards.

Shame they didn't call it 'The Finger of Allah' and give the bad guys a messaging problem.

AGM 119R9X is so sterile a name though.
Its impersonal, and missing a trick I think.

The Arabs and Persians are quite renowned for their descriptive style of speech, song , poetry etc. and would appreciate something a bit more imaginative.

'Hellfire' is pretty good, but its actually a different weapon.
Something like 'Sword of Democracy ' or ' 'Satans Sickle' would have far more impact.

Slow down, these things aren’t cheap. Have you seen the cost of a decent set of chefs knives?

A kinetic warhead. Ie relies on energy of movement rather than energy of explosives.


With added spiky bits.

It would be easier to buy the launch vehicle - just a CAA exam to prove proficeincy.
