Who would waste a cruise missile on a boat that small?

How did the Israelis destroy every Osa missile boat that came out to fight with 50KM Styx ship-killer missiles in 1973, when the IDF boats had only 25KM Gabriel missiles?

They didn't outrun the Styx missiles either. They spoofed them with EW, went closer, and killed the Osas. Every one that came out to fight. After that, the Syrians and Egyptians kept their remaining Osas in port.

Even though the Arabs had the latest Soviet anti-ship missiles with double the range of the Israeli missiles.

You can't hit what you can't see. That's why going carbon fiber and ultra-stealth is so critical. And there is no way to make a metal boat disappear like one of these carbon fiber Skjolds.
