Jet suit trials showcase rapid boarding tactics at NATO centre

In March, test pilots at NATO's maritime training centre in Souda Bay (Chania, Greece) demonstrated jet suit technology capable of rapidly intercepting and boarding vessels during live trials. The exercise shows operational feasibility for fast boarding/interdiction and could inform niche defense procurement and tactics, but carries limited near-term market implications.
