The "spinning" thing might be a bit of sensationalism. The blades are basically just extended fins that pop out before impact to increase the area. The direction of cut is the direction of impact and the energy is the kinetic energy of the missile. It's basically just a broadhead arrow mounted on a guided rocket.
