Another C-802 success...in the hands of people that don't like us much. She blowed up real good (embedded video).
Side note: The destroyed vessel was equipped with a ride stabilization system that my previous company supplied.
Note the reports about the ineffectiveness (duh) of the rapid-blooming off board chaff system....said system, and similar, a long-time staple of USN countermeasures. We (USN) operate a whole fleet of very similar high-speed catamarans for intratheater troop and vehicle transport.
