The funny thing is that many of us Americans who pay any attention to this stuff tend to think of a technical as an African or Middle-Eastern invention, when it actually goes back further. Katyushas in WWII, most scout cars in WWI, they fit the bill too, of strapping something deadly onto something mobile.

Hell, the very first fighter planes too were essentially technicals.

let's see if Turkey permits the ships passage now-knowing of its military load.
do the Ukrainians have antiship missiles or armed drones that may reach up to the international waters just outside of Turkish zone?

The ship is already passed and is near the russian coast of the Black Sea. It was loaded in a civilian cargo vessel known for ferrying military hardware for Rusia.

AFAIK, the bann is for militar ships, not for civil ships carrying military equipment, so...

I doubt that Ukrainia can do anything about that but an audacious strike can't be ruled out at all.
