The French Navy Just Built An Unmanned Kamikaze PWC, Because Of Course They Did

Personal watercrafts—those loud, zippy machines that scream summer fun—are normally all about carving waves, pulling off questionable stunts, and annoying everyone at the beach. But now? They’re also about blowing stuff up. Yes, we’ve officially reached the point where something you’d usually see at a resort is being turned into a one-way weapon of war. It’s badass, depressing, and kinda terrifying all at once.

On April 26, the French Navy strapped an explosive charge to a PWC, pointed it at an old cargo barge, and let it rip across the Mediterranean at high speed. The target? A decommissioned hulk reinforced with metal and tires. The result?

One hell of a boom, and a very clear message.
