Pretty interesting video. Survived a hellfire missile hit. 

Not just survive. Deflected it. And keeps on trucking. The missile didn’t even explode on impact. Definitely one of the most compelling videos I’ve seen.

The AGM-114R9X "Flying Ginsu" or "Ninja Bomb" is a highly specialized Hellfire variant that does not use explosives. 

Kinetic energy and blades: Before impact, six sharp blades extend from the missile's casing. It relies on a combination of these blades and its own kinetic energy to shred or slice the target.

Those are pretty high-value and usually used when it’s important to avoid civilian casualties.  
 

If Reapers and Hellfires were used then the object was moving fairly steadily and not too fast. This area is some of the most heavily monitored and a site of active air defense operations against Houthi missiles and drones.  
 

My bet is the Hellfire failed to detonate against some sort of one-way drone. Good article here:

Also important that this was engaged with at all. The military doesn’t shoot at things that are unidentified; that’s why all the other UAP videos are just tracking. Someone in the chain identified this as a Houthi target and got the green light.
