#3 Repelling is perfect use for a traditional hopper fed Gatling gun. Screw the fire hose.

#4 The Indonesian Navy freelancing, possibly?

There is credible intel about that happening over the past few years. It's also possible that these are 'professionals' and not necessarily terrorists (tho they may be working with them).

IMNSHO, it looks like they're still doing training; trying to perfect tactics and monitor ship responses. Looks like many of the attacks are happening in the morning.

That the attacks are ocurring near Indonesia means the patrols on the north side of the Straits are working.
