The divers brave jellyfish-infested water to test this prototype. I was afraid someone would got stung in the face. Also, did some jellyfishes got shredded at 0:11?
- I was concerned about the jellyfish, until I realized they were riding on a torpedo.
  
  Yes, why are they riding on a torpedo?
- Not all jellyfish are harmful. These arent.
  
  Those are barrel jellyfish, right? While they're not harmful, getting stung by a horde of them probably not a pleasant experience.
Marichka, fuck yeah! Coming again to save the mother fucking day yeah!

According to Ukrainian media, the Marichka is a self-developed system made by volunteer engineers (so called AMMO UKRAINE) with donations. The media platforms claim that the estimated cost of the UUV is about UAH 16 million, which is equivalent to $433,000.
Interesting to see what they do and don’t blur
- If you can see the propeller, you can figure out the sound profile it would make and listen for that. That’s why they always hide propellers from views in pictures of modern submarines.
  
  that's what I was alluding to. That and the horizon
