India Pakistan war: After the situation of war with Pakistan escalated, the Indian Army has decided to purchase the 85 V Sword missile under emergency procurement. Along with this, 48 launchers and night vision sights will also be bought. The V Sword missile is capable of penetrating its target without any explosion. It is used to kill terrorists hidden among the general public.
In such a case, India can also use this missile to target terrorists hiding in Pakistan. This missile is typically launched via drone. It can accurately hit long-distance targets.
The United States used this missile to kill Al-Qaeda leader and mastermind of the 9/11 attacks, Al-Zawahiri.
This missile is extremely small and can be launched via a drone. Its targeting is very precise. No type of explosive is used in it. Because of this, this missile only attacks its target. People nearby are not harmed by it. This missile has six sharp blades that open just before reaching the target. These blades cut and destroy the target while causing no harm to nearby people. These blades are sword-shaped. For this reason, this missile is nicknamed V Sword.
The real name of the V-Sword missile is Hellfire R9X missile. It is also known as the 'Flying Ginsu' or 'Sword missile'. Instead of exploding on its target, this missile slices it with six blades. The United States has extensively used this missile in drone warfare. Now India has also decided to purchase this missile from the United States.
