The R9X Missile

What are the high-tech precision missiles used to kill al Qaeda's most wanted?

1) Remotely manned drones with sophisticated cameras and carrying missile flies over the target.

2) R9X missile, fitted with lasers, dropped to hit target.

3) Just before impact, six blades deploy out of the side of the missile, there is no explosive blast.

Al-Qaeda, like Ayman al-Zawahiri, are being targeted individually and killed while they sleep by... a Sword Missile.

I think this technology is fascinating and terrifying.

He was the target of a flying food processor.

Shame that because the poor innocent buggers he killed on 9/11 had lots of time to contemplate they were going to die.

And in doing that you are just as bad as him because you claim the right to kill the jihadi but you’re saying if the innocents die so what!!

Do you think it’s ok to kill Russian and Ukrainian civilians too?

Remember his wife was probably told she was marrying him and his kids had nothing to do with any of it if they were young.

No time to shit himself or repent his sins?

Which is kind of a shame as he's caused many agonising deaths and long term suffering.

I'm not sure why you mentioned lasers. My CD player is fitted with lasers, but that doesn't make it dangerous.


"3) Just before impact, six blades deploy out of the side of the missile, there is no explosive blast."

There would have been a bit of an explosion. The US can't let their tracking systems be collected up by the enemy, so there would have been enough explosive to destroy that bit of the missile.

I dunno why the lasers were on the description of the process either, my guess is its something to do with guidance and how accurate they are?

I did specifically write it as an explosive blast, as in away from the missile. an internal one would not be the same thing.

You are partially right. It does have a laser seeker guidance system. The drone "paints " the target with a coded laser pulse. The seeker homes in on that laser pulse.Its just a hellfire with no explosive charge. It just has ninja blades that uses kinetic energy as the primary means.

5 foot ninja blades deployed at 995 mph. That's scary.

The tracking system has been out since the 80s it was designed for the Apache. Pretty sure there is nothing secretive about it.

In a few years it will be reported as an airborne laser that did the job.

Saves leaving spent Uranium all over the place.

Something the size of a Hellfire missile traveling at the best part of 1000 mph hitting you is going to smart a bit the next day… Even without an explosive charge or blades…

DARPA unveiled the gambit RDE program recently. That's insane.

If not heard of RDE before. That's a genius idea.

Thanks for clueing me in.

Yes. As a very simplified description, the missile has a camera, the drone that launches it has a laser pointer. The drone operator points the (infra)red dot at the target, the missile flies towards wherever the dot is. A variation is that the laser pointer can be on a second drone that is nearer to the target, or even pointed by a man on the ground. So that the missile can be fired from a distance, but the aim can be better than trying to keep the laser dot in the right place from a long way away.

I make no judgement about whether using these type of weapons is right or wrong, but do note that what was military state of the art a few years ago is now something that most anyone with a few quid could knock together using bits from Radio Shack...
