A senior commander of an Iran-backed militia has been killed in a US drone strike in Baghdad.
A leader of Kataib Hezbollah and two of his guards were in a vehicle when it was targeted in the east of the Iraqi capital. All three of them died.
The Pentagon said the commander was responsible for directing attacks on American forces in the region.
The US has linked the militia to a drone attack in Jordan that killed three US troops last month.
Ah, the good 'ol slap chop!
(no, this isn’t a meme, this is how the R9X Hellfire works)
the ninja missile. It slices. it dices. it doesn’t go boom.
AKA… Unmanned.
Laser seeker. Laser is on the aircraft.
Hey, hey, don’t ruin my dreams of a missile that kills with swords and lasers. What are we spending our money on if we don’t even have a missile that shoots lasers?
That’s why we need to petition congress to spend more on defense. They want you to think we already have sword laser missiles, but the poor military industrial complex barely has enough money for swords and lasers and missiles by themselves, let alone all 3 in one sexy package.
Every time I see this thing all I can think is how much it must suck to be targeted by that. Like it’s such a remote and precise way of assassination that it delivers a message nothing other than “we will find you, and we will kill you.”
That would be great at chopping vegetables
Oh that must be the knife missile Robert Evans was advertising for a while on behind the bastards. I was picturing something more like an explosive missile with knives around the explosive.
