written by Alexandra Hartman Editor-in-Chief
The United States announced the death of Ayman Al-Zawahiri, leader of Al-Qaeda, while traveling in Afghanistan. This was done by firing a modified missile from a drone.
USA, through its president Joe Bidenhas announced the death of Ayman Al-Zawahiri, who became the boss Al-Qaeda following the death of Osama bin Laden thanks to an attack with an unmanned drone on Afghanistan.
For his feat, the US made use of the Hellfire R9X, also called “fire ninja” to end his life. What is your technology?
The ninja bomb once morest Al-Qaeda
The Hellfire R9X has become one of the weapons of choice for the United States to assassinate terrorists without making mistakes with civilians.
The R9X first appeared in March 2017 when Abu al-Khayr al-Masri, one of Al-Zawahiri’s right-hand men in Al-Qaeda, was killed by a drone strike while traveling in a car in Syria.
They are modifications of Hellfire missiles, which are air-to-surface, laser-guided, subsonic missiles with significant anti-tank capability.
The Hellfire R9X has been designed to carry pop-up sword blades (or “paddles”) to kill targets with minimal collateral damage.
According to the Wall Street Journal, the R9X, which was reportedly developed under the Obama administration with the goal of reducing civilian casualties, “comes equipped with a different type of payload: a halo of six long blades that are stored inside and then deployed through the missile’s skin seconds before impact to make sure it shreds anything in its path.”
The death of Ayman al-Zawahiri
The US killed Ayman al Zawahiri in an anti-terrorist operation carried out by a drone once morest a house where the Al Qaeda leader resided in the Afghan capital.
Al Zawahiri, a 71-year-old Egyptian surgeon, was the right-hand man of Saudi bin Laden, and became the leader of the terrorist organization following his death on May 1, 2011 in a US attack.
Ayman al Zawahiri had been wanted since the 1990s by several countries, particularly in Egypt and Saudi Arabia, and following the September 11 attacks in the US, Interpol ordered his search and capture, and the FBI put him on its list one of the most wanted with a reward of 25 million dollars for information leading to his arrest.
US tests hypersonic weapons Successful for the 3rd time
written by Alexandra Hartman Editor-in-Chief
according toState-of-the-art National Defense Research Project Office (DARPA) under the Ministry of Defense to do development projects.hypersonic weapon (HAWC) Both Raytheon and Lockheed Martin competed for a contract with the Pentagon. Since September 2021, four hypersonic weapons have been tested. Raytheon was successful on both occasions. Lockheed succeeded once, failed once. The Pentagon’s latest statement on Monday revealed Raytheon’s third success.
Wes Kramer, Business Presidentmissileand Raytheon’s defense said Supersonic weapons capabilities are of great importance to the country and its further progress. This successful flight test strengthens confidence in the company’s prototype HAWC technology.
The United States and its global rivals are ramping up the creation of hypersonic weapons. Which is a new weapon that the enemy does not have time to react with conventional weapons. Hypersonic weapons fly above the atmosphere five times faster than the speed of sound, or regarding 6,200 kilometers per hour.
After Himars M270 – gaining strength Ukraine | Defense | Russia-Ukraine War | Missile | Defense News | Malayalam Technology News

Ukraine forces are strengthened with a new weapon in the quiver. Ukraine has received the US-made M270 multiple launch rocket system. It has the ability to fire multiple rockets into the enemy camp at once.
Earlier, the US had handed over Himars or M142 High Mobility Artillery Rocket System rocket launchers to Ukraine. The M270 uses the same rockets used in the Himars. But there is a difference. Twice as many rockets can be launched from the M270 than from the Himars.
Ukrainian Defense Minister Oleksiy Reznikov announced yesterday that they have received M270 rockets. The M270 is US-made, but which country supplied Ukraine with this weapon remains a mystery.
Experts believe that Britain or Norway may have supplied these weapons to Ukraine. The German government has also previously announced that it will supply its M270 variant, known as the Mars Second, to Ukraine.
The Himars and M270 fire mainly 227 mm artillery rockets. They can also fire short-range ballistic missiles called Army Tactical Missiles. The missiles are loaded in groups called pods.
M270 launchers are mounted on armored vehicles. They can load two ammunition pods at a time. Twelve 227 mm rockets can be fired from the M270 at once. In case of army tactical missiles, two can be fired from it at once.
Himars can only load one ammunition pod at a time. So it can only fire half the number of missiles fired by the M270 at once. However, it can be fitted to many more vehicles and platforms than the M270, so it can be deployed anywhere, anytime, and at any speed in battle.
The 227 mm rockets used in these can destroy enemy bunkers and weapons within 70 km. If army tactical missiles are used, it will get a range of up to 300 km. The US has provided 227 mm rockets to Ukraine. But the US has not provided them with Army tactical missiles as a precaution to prevent Ukraine from attacking Russia.
The Himars missiles are mainly used by Ukraine to destroy the weapons storage facilities and logistics supply routes established by Russia in Ukraine. Ukraine claims that they are succeeding in this.
