1. He hit 88 mph

   Edit: lmao fastest 500 upvotes thank yall

2. Tell me it was a ninja bomb’s blades dragging the road

3. Hellfire R9X version with pop out blades. No explosives, designed to kill with kinetic energy. Nasty weapon, aftermath ain’t pretty.

   Edit: I’m saying nasty as in it’s a ‘nasty bit of kit’ as in… it’s a flying array of knives that does some nasty damage in a tiny radius. I don’t know how some people are perceiving me to mean it’s ’nasty that it’s not killing civilians’. Replying to this comment thread is killing my brain cells.

4. So that ghost rider scene was real after all

5. Fuck now were going to have the No pine mall. Fuck you Marty.

6. The R9 chopped right through that SUV including the gas tank.

7. Incredible weapon. I’d love to
   See what else they have up their sleeves

8. Gotta be something else to just be there minding your own business, then watching someone get suddenly hell portaled with nearly no collateral without a sound or a warning besides the impact and the sound of some popcorn.

9. When the aftermath photos first came out there were several people arguing that it couldn’t have been an R9X because the car was completely burned up. Now we know why.

   Confirmed R9X.

10. Ninja Hellfire.

11. Seems surreal and anti-climactic, like an anvil fell out the sky. Should drop a small violin on it next.

12. Is this the dude that got the ninja ass missile with the killer blades?

13. I’m wondering what the driver is thinking as he goes along. Shock?

14. Struck by ninja blades, he is now Abu salami

15. Dude when back to the future

16. Fuck with the U.S. and you’ll get an R9X on your head. This should be shown globally as deterrence. You can be driving down the road with your body guard and this flying katana masterpiece will find you (accurate to specific seat of the vehicle) and take you out all while minimizing collateral

17. We’re going back to the future!

18. All the US and Israeli airstrikes in the middle of busy streets are crazy, I guess they’re not too worried about collateral damage huh lol, even without explosives the car could easily crash badly.

19. Fine, I’ll pay my taxes.

20. We need to add the back to the future sound XD

21. Great Scott!

22. Nailed it.

23. Hit him with the slap-chop

24. what did they do, light a banana in his tailpipe?

25. …6 feet deep. wonderful day!

26. back to future

27. I’m on a highhhhwayyyy to hellll

28. Our technology has gone so far we’ve returned to ancient techniques: ramming to destroy a target. Scary.

29. It’s like the [Slap Chop](https://youtu.be/UxGn2Egekic?si=7eLlr_1MCcukHb2M)

30. They whacked him with the flying ginsu.

31. Straight up deleted that man by the hand of god. Like Zeus in the clouds with a thunderbolt

32. It’s shows everything except the moment? Crazy video though

33. Back to the future reference?

34. Clean up after those is a nightmare.

35. Is this the kinetic missile that deploys knives?

36. It is fuckin terrifying how accurately the US can assassinate someone with a knife missile…

37. Doc

38. Hot wheels

39. r/Justrolledintotheshop

40. Just rolled into the shop (Iraq edition)

41. Hell yea they hit em with blades

42. Interesting, why was there 4 thuds?

43. Airstrikes are so common that the dude just went back to putting tires on his customers’ car.

44. I think the guy changing the tire towards the end of the video is actually stealing it… Who does that in that situation? Taking advantage of the confusion

45. Burning rubber to paradise, alailalalalialalaiiii!

46. Dude hit 88mph and went back to the future

47. That’s POWER. No civilian destruction; pure precision.

48. Looks like Ghost Rider had something to do with it!
