Hellfire R9X, a strange missile that relies on blades to be less destructive created by the CIA and the Pentagon
Data has been leaked from the new Hellfire R9X missile, a blade-based missile that makes it less destructive than a conventional missile.
We see how every day technology advances in a dizzying way, with important technological revolutions. These are normally positive, although occasionally we come across some cases that we don't like. Medicine, communication, transportation, efficiency, etc., are some of the markets where technological innovation is good. The problem is when technology is used to create weapons in the military segment. According to the Wall Street Journal, the CIA and the Pentagon have developed a missile in which the bombs have been replaced by blades
This is the latest bomb developed by the CIA and the Pentagon
Hellfire R9X is the name of this new military weapon. According to sources reported by the Wall Street Journal, it has been used since 2017 to eliminate terrorists. This air-to-ground missile is intended to minimize the amount of collateral damage from conventional bombs. A project that would have been developed years ago and that has been kept secret to this day. Now has been when the details of its operation have been revealed.
This missile to eliminate the target implements six long blades arranged around the body of the missile. The blades are hidden inside it, but before impact they unfold rapidly. A missile that has a weight of 45 kilograms and that can operate at great speed. Something that allows this missile to have the ability to pass through vehicles and can even enter buildings to suppress the target.
The silver lining is that this missile appears less destructive than a conventional ballistic missile that explodes. Much information is missing about this missile, such as its operation, which does not seem to require explosives. We assume that more data will leak out in the coming days or weeks regarding these new, less 'destructive' missiles.
