As already reported, the leader of the Al-Qaeda terrorist organization Aiman Az-Zawakhiri was liquidated in Afghanistan. Information about this was personally confirmed by US President Joe Biden. According to the representative, the high -precision blow was inflicted last Sunday to the house in the Afghan capital, in which Zavakhiri had been hiding lately. Two Hellfire missiles were released from the drone. As a result of the impact, neither the relatives of the Zavakhiri who were in the house, nor civilians around.
were injured.
The Israeli portal “Details” studied what kind of weapon it was. This is not about the usual modification of the high -precision Hellfire rocket designed to damage armored vehicles.
This is a unique type of rocket, which brings … blades, each about 1 meter long, instead of a charge of explosives. Before getting on the target, they open and literally cut the object. This is really a high -precision weapon – a circular probable deviation (the diameter of the circle in which the rocket gets) – 1 meter. That is, when attacking, for example, a large car, the operator can choose which part of the car to hit, front or rear. Depending on where the object is located.
No damage to other people, even if they are close, does not happen. Presumably, it was precisely such an ammunition on January 3, 2020 that Kasem Suleimani, commander of the al-Kuds special forces, was liquidated as part of the Iranian Corps of the Guardians of the Islamic Revolution.
A rocket with blades was designed specifically for such point liquidations to minimize concomitant damage. The bearers of this weapon can be combat helicopters, for example, “Apache” and shock drones Reaper and Predator.
