I just read the Air Force is practicing using A-10s to counter the gunboat swarms.
One 30mm round could really spoil a plastic hull and occupants.
MY thought is a thermobaric bomb would be effective against a cluster of boats.

Be strong but not provocative. A first shot shown on video that is ignored is much more damning than a no-warning kill.
