    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.

          The better question is, why aren’t you?

          But, seriously, they’re probably taking it out into more open waters and setting it up/inspecting it before tests. Probably a simple way of transportation. I imagine there was no warhead and it runs on electrical batteries, so it must be pretty safe.

        Those are barrel jellyfish, right? While they’re not harmful, getting stung by a horde of them probably not a pleasant experience.

          I assumed it was https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aurelia_aurita

          Though they are hard to differentiate without genetical analysis, according to Wikipedia.

          I found myself in a swarm while swimming next to a ship in the Baltic sea. The article says they do have some defenses but i didnt notice anything.

          I was scared though!
