There's apparently at one least cruise missile variant that basically mounts a sword on the warhead with a thin fairing. It's apparently used for killing a single target


You're thinking of the AGM-114R-9X "Flying Ginsu", which is a variant of the short-range AGM-114 Hellfire anti-tank missile. It's not a cruise missile.


Apparently yes I am. Thanks for correcting me



not a cruise missile, basically just a modified hellfire.

uses multiple swords. basically just a long tube with blades on it, designed to kill through direct kinetic force.
