Who knew a fast boat can't outrun a missile

Kinetic only. Nice.

What is a kinetic energy weapon?

Fire seems to slow them down. A lot.

no explosive, the mass and velocity of the projectile does the damage

Mass x Acceleration
Heavy projectile at high speed no explosives
Obviously effective on a boat.

It’s kind of funny thinking about how many movies have been made about cartels, and I don’t think I’ve ever seen one feature Venezuela.
Bolivia’s anti-narcotic’s chief was found with a cocaine lab on his property last week, yet the US doesn’t have any issues with that government’s cartels.

boat guys earning their money for once (or three or four times, you know what I mean)

Now, could he please start hitting shipments directly heading to the US like the ones moving up the Pacific Coadt to El Salvador, Nicaragua and Mexico instead of the petty shite off Venezuela.
Or
Are we to now decide that we can subdue a whole other nation like we did in Iraq and Afghanistan and in the 60s with Vietnam......all of which worked out......so well.

What are these kinetic munitions dispatched from?
Posted on 10/3/25 at 12:53 pm to Kjnstkmn
And just like that, they're gone

I understand this was paid for by the taxpayer but I really wish War Secretary would show these as a pay-per-view event.
It would be better than watch Tyson's naked arse and Treasury would see some real money come in.

The Hellfire Switchblade mod is one type.

modified version of the well-known Hellfire missile, the weapon carries an inert warhead. Instead of exploding, it is designed to plunge more than 100 pounds of metal through the tops of cars and buildings to kill its target without harming individuals and property close by.
To the targeted person, it is as if a speeding anvil fell from the sky, the officials said. But this variant of the Hellfire missile, designated as the R9X, also comes equipped with a different kind of payload: a halo of six long blades that are stowed inside and then deploy through the skin of the missile seconds before impact, shredding anything in its tracks.
