I find it amusing when otherwise very intelligent people try to extrapolate local situations into a globalist picture based on a gimmick.
You can posit jet-ski bombs will work in a bathtub analog to the Black Sea like the Persian Gulf, but these are RUSSIANS.
They did not even picket boat and net boom Sevastopol properly. They are stupid. Emphasis on the word; STUPID. Also, note that their navy ran away, not from jet-ski bombs, but anti-ship cruise missiles. Their defenses did not work against that threat. That was why they abandoned Sevastopol, and in the main fled east.
Further, you cannot address the jet-ski bomb problem in other areas of the world without factoring in the possibility that the Turks, Israelis and Iranians are not stupid. My counter-example is the Houthi side-gambit the Iranians run against the Israelis as well as their Hamas campaign. Bright people find unusual adept ways to make war unfortunately very interesting, terrifying and unique. Notice the use of anti-ship cruise missiles?
With the China problem that also factors. The Chinese have a working solution to the jet-ski bomb. It remains to be seen if they can deal with anti-ship cruise missiles.
IOW, welcome to the return of the Coast Defense Artillery.
