What fighting tactics to modern pirates use?

Modern pirates often employ asymmetric warfare tactics, utilizing speed and agility by operating small, fast boats to approach and board larger vessels. They typically rely on surprise attacks, often at night or in poorly monitored waters, and use automatic weapons and grappling hooks to seize control of ships. Additionally, they may employ hostages and threats to negotiate ransoms. Technological tools such as GPS and communication devices enhance their operational efficiency and coordination.
