Ukrainian Weaponized Yamaha Jet Ski USV Found On Turkish Beach
A weaponized Yamaha Waverunner FX jet ski has been found on Turkish beach near Istanbul, on July 25 2024.
The personal watercraft has been modified as an uncrewed vessel (USV). It has an electro-optical / infrared camera ball above the handlebars, along with other sensors. Control boxes and a Starlink antenna replace the seats and occupy the aft deck. Extra fuel tanks are also likely present.
Two small black cylinders, mounted either side of the forward body, appear to be explosive charges. Further details are not available.
