WSJ annab teada, et USA on mõned aastad kasutanud Hellfire uut tüüpi raketti, mis seletab müstilisi täppislööke, kus plahvatust ei ole toimunud. Raketi raskus ja avanenud terad purustavad sihtmärgi.
Tsiteeri:
Both the Central Intelligence Agency and the Pentagon have used the weapon while closely guarding its existence. A modified version of the well-known Hellfire missile, the weapon carries an inert warhead. Instead of exploding, it is designed to plunge more than 100 pounds of metal through the tops of cars and buildings to kill its target without harming individuals and property close by.
To the targeted person, it is as if a speeding anvil fell from the sky, the officials said. But this variant of the Hellfire missile, designated as the R9X, also comes equipped with a different kind of payload: a halo of six long blades that are stowed inside and then deploy through the skin of the missile seconds before impact, shredding anything in its tracks.
