The US military has been quietly eliminating terrorist leaders in Syria with the Hellfire AGM-114R9X, a non-explosive Hellfire missile that kills its enemies by crushing them with 100 pounds of metal or by cutting them apart with the swords stored inside.
The most recent strike, according to The New York Times, was about two weeks ago and eliminated a senior attack planner for al Qaeda.
The R9X, a weapon designed to reduce civilian casualties, first became public knowledge when The Wall Street Journal reported its existence in May 2019, but its development began years earlier.
