al-Qaeda chief Ayman al-Zawahiri was killed by American forces during a fearful attack in Afghanistan's capital, Kabul.
A senior official in the Beden administration was quoted as saying by the AFP news agency that Zawahir was on the balcony of a house in Kabul when targeted by two Hellfire missiles.
Also called “bomba ninja”, the missile has become the US weapon selected to kill the leaders of extremist groups, avoiding civilian victims.
The rocket was released by a Predator drone.
He doesn't have a warhead, but he puts in six strings that fly at high speed, press and wait for the target person.
That's why it's called a <x0).
Some photos posted online show the impact of these missiles.
One of these old photos on Twitter claims it shows a car destroyed by Hellfire R9X in Idlib, Syria.
The Pentagon and the CIA - the two agencies that are targeting the target - have never accepted the use of the Hellfire R9X missile.
According to the Wall Street Journal (WSJ), the missiles were born after former US President Barack Obama stressed avoiding the deaths of civilians in American air strikes in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iraq, Syria, Somalia, Yemen and other countries.
Hellfire's R9X version is used only in specific circumstances, especially when a terrorist leader has been identified.
It aims to limit damage compared to typical missiles by reducing the risk of killing innocent civilians around the target.
The weapon was under way since 2011, further reported.
Quoting US Department of Defense officials, W report SJ said the Hellfire missile was used five times, including in operations in Libya, Syria, Iraq, Yemen and Somalia.
Hellfire R9X is just over three and a half feet [1 m] long and weighs a little over 45 kg] and leaves no traces of a fire rocket.
Over the past three years, there have been only 11 confirmed cases involving weapons.
Many of them occurred in Syria, although the R9X missile is believed to have been used in Afghanistan, Libya, Somalia and Yemen.
Human rights advocates have questioned the idea that R9X is a human alternative to more conventional missiles and armed drones.
R9X, or to give its full name, AGM-149X, is an air-earth rocket (AGM) with six sets reported.
There was no public image of this missile before it was thrown.
However, given that R9X is a modified version of the well-known Hellenic missile family (kodi 114), and based on fragments found by the scene of the attacks, it is possible to become a well-planned assumption of what it looks like.
