"From the video, they seem to be fishing boats rather than major ocean going freighters."

My thoughts, exactly..

You load 16 ships and what do you get?

A missile in your ass from the friendly SHIN BET..............

"If not true, then what accounts for the video?"

In the age of CGI and artificial intelligence, a picture or video is not worth a thousand words.

“I read that it costs two million dollars to shoot down a two-thousand dollar drone.”

But what does it cost to let the drone hit its target?

[Ancesthntr]

Gee, that’s a shame.

[Migraine]

“Large fishing boats are used extensively for smuggling in that neck of the woods.”

Thus, a fitting name for this event might be “The Houthi and the Blowfish” operation?

Probably less than two million in immediate economic impact, but the impact on world commerce by diverted ships will be much, much more. The point is, the Iranians can bleed us by asymmetric warfare: It costs us a thousand times more to parry their blows than it cost them to make them. We could inflict enormous damage on them very cheaply, and they would have no counter. We are accepting their terms. This is madness. It’s as if we let German U-boats attack convoys, but only tried to stop or evade torpedoes, and left the U-boats unmolested.

So something is only true if you see it with your own eyes - everything else is a manipulation, right?
