Hellfire R9X missile: the drone missile with razor-sharp blades used ... (The Indian Express)

Hellfire R9X missile: Ayman al-Zawahiri was killed in a US strike last weekend, President Joe Biden announced. The US military used its 'secret weapon', ...

Hellfire is actually an acronym for Heliborne, Laser, Fire and Forget Missile and it was developed in the US initially to target tanks from the Apache AH-64 attack helicopters. For several years now, the Hellfire family of missiles, including the ‘Ninja Missile’, are armed on Combat Unmanned Aerial Vehicles or drones that the US Military uses in offensive military operations around the world. It has also been used against Taliban targets in Afghanistan in 2020 and again in 2022. Also known as the ‘Ninja Missile’, this weapon does not carry a warhead and instead deploys razor-sharp blades at the terminal stage of its attack trajectory. It is a variant of the original Hellfire missile family which is used in conventional form with warheads and is traditionally used from helicopters, ground-based vehicles, and sometimes small ships and fast moving vessels. The Hellfire 9RX missile is known to have been in active service since 2017.

With a rifle in the background and making a chopping motion with his hand, he promised that bin Laden would continue to “terrify” America. “Blood for blood,” he said. In the following decade, US pursued bin Laden and al-Zawahiri. Drone strikes decimated Qaida’s leadership. With his white turban and dense, grey beard, his forehead marked by the bruising prized by some Muslims as denoting piety from frequent prayer, alZawahiri had little of bin Laden’s charisma.

अधिकारी के मुताबिक, बाइडेन ने अधिकारियों को हमले से अमेरिकी नागरिक मार्क फ्रेरिक्स और दो दशक लंबे युद्ध में अमेरिका की मदद करने वाले अफगान नागरिकों की सुरक्षा को होने वाले खतरे पर विचार करने का निर्देश भी दिया. फ्रेरिक्स दो साल से अधिक समय से तालिबान के कब्जे में हैं. अधिकारी के मुताबिक, कोविड-19 संक्रमण के चलते व्हाइट हाउस में पृथकवास में रह रहे बाइडेन को 25 जुलाई को अभियान का अंतिम ब्योरा दिया गया. उन्होंने बताया कि अभियान में शामिल सभी अधिकारियों ने इसे मंजूरी देने की जबरदस्त वकालत की. इसके बाद बाइडेन ने मौका मिलते ही हमले को अंजाम देने की स्वीकृति दे दी. अधिकारी के मुताबिक, मई और जून में चुनिंदा सरकारी अधिकारियों के एक समूह ने खुफिया जानकारियों का विश्लेषण किया और बाइडेन को सुझाए जाने वाले उपाय खंगाले. उन्होंने बताया कि एक जुलाई को राष्ट्रीय सुरक्षा अधिकारियों ने पांच दिवसीय यूरोप दौरे से लौटे बाइडेन को व्हाइट हाउस के ‘सिचुएशन रूम’ में प्रस्तावित हवाई हमले से अवगत कराया. अधिकारियों के मुताबिक, बाइडेन ने अधिकारियों को ऐसे हवाई हमले का खाका तैयार करने का निर्देश दिया था, जिसमें दोनों मिसाइलें सिर्फ अल-जवाहिरी की पनाहगाह की बालकनी को निशाना बनाएं और इमारत के अन्य हिस्सों में मौजूद लोगों को कोई नुकसान न पहुंचे. अमेरिकी प्रशासन के एक वरिष्ठ अधिकारी ने नाम न जाहिर करने की शर्त पर बताया कि अल-जवाहिरी को ‘कई मौकों पर लंबी अवधि के लिए’ उस बालकनी में देखा गया था, जहां उसकी मौत हुई. अधिकारियों के मुताबिक, अभियान की तैयारियों में विश्लेषकों की स्वतंत्र टीम का अल-जवाहिरी की मौजूदगी की संभावनाओं को लेकर समान निष्कर्ष पर पहुंचना, आसपास मौजूद लोगों को होने वाले खतरे के आकलन के लिए इमारत की संरचना का अध्ययन करना और मॉक अभियान चलाना और बाइडेन के सलाहकारों की आम सहमति हासिल करना शामिल था. एक अधिकारी के मुताबिक, अमेरिकी खुफिया विभाग ने अल-जवाहिरी की जीवनशैली का विस्तृत खाका तैयार किया था और जब मिसाइलों ने उड़ान भरी, तब अधिकारियों को यकीन था कि अल-कायदा सरगना बालकनी में होगा. अमेरिका ने रविवार सुबह 6.18 बजे काबुल के सुदूर इलाके में मिसाइलें दागकर अल-जवाहिरी का काम तमाम कर दिया.

Ayman al-Zawahiri: from Cairo physician to al Qaeda leader (The Indian Express)

Ayman al-Zawahiri, 71, was killed in a US drone strike, President Joe Biden announced on live television. US officials said the attack took place on Sunday ...

Zawahiri was raised in Cairo’s leafy Maadi suburb, a place favoured by expatriates from the Western nations he railed against. By then he was living the spartan life of a militant after helping Bin Laden to form al Qaeda. Zawahiri did not emerge from Cairo’s slums, like others drawn to militant groups who promised a noble cause. Instead, militancy returned to its roots in local-level conflicts, driven by a mix of local grievances and incitement by transnational jihadi networks using social media. US officials said the attack took place on Sunday in the Afghan capital Kabul. Taking over the leadership of Islamic Jihad in Egypt in 1993, Zawahiri was a leading figure in a campaign in the mid-1990s to overthrow the government and set up a purist Islamic state.
