“.....secret ninja missle....”

The AGM-114 Hellfire is an air-to-surface missile (ASM) first developed for anti-armor use, but later models were developed for precision drone strikes against other target types, and have been used in a number of targeted killings of high-profile individuals. It was originally developed under the name Heliborne, Laser, Fire and Forget Missile, which led to the colloquial name “Hellfire” ultimately becoming the missile’s formal name. It has been in use since 1984 and has been used by thousands of military members with thousands other ordering its use. How can that be a secret? Anythng to sell the paper.

...the AGM-114R9X, which substitutes the explosive warhead found on standard missiles for a set of six folding sword-like blades, designed to smash through buildings and vehicles with minimal civilian casualties.
Ginsu ninja reverse pinata -- talk about cultural diversity.
Maybe after the impact, a container packed with shamwows could pop open and soak up the mess in a jiffy.

Anyone who runs, is a VC. Anyone who stands still, is a well disciplined VC.

Might be cheaper for the Navy to build sharks with a laser on their head.

Come On! One missile (at 10,000.00 per missile ??) to kill two terrorists worth a combined 37 cents? That reproduce at the cost of a rape and a dead child-bride every week?

We can kill them two at a time - but still lose the war in the end.
