The Pentagon has built a new missile known as a 'ninja bomb'
Knowing United States policy on avoiding civilian casualties, terrorists increasingly used women, children, and other civilians as human shields.
Development on the “ninja bomb” started in 2011.The secret R9X missile is designed to destroy individual targets without harming surrounding civilians and could potentially kill a car's front seat passenger without harming the driver.
Just before impact, the missile deploys six blades halfway along its length, which help shred any obstructions such as walls or car roofs, and increase the area of damage.
A special adaptation of the Hellfire missile that deploys six metal blades at the last second and relies on sheer speed and mass to destroy the target.
With no explosion the weapon functions more like a giant missile-powered bullet, designed to punch through barriers and relying on the destructive force of 100 pounds of metal.
The weapon has only been used in several high-profile strikes since being developed.
Hellfire missiles are launched from aircraft including helicopters, drones, and fighter jets at ground targets.
