This is part of the videotape showing the Russian Navy commandos on the Somalian pirate ship. You may remember that the pirates captured a Russian oil tanker. The EuroUnion navy that patrols these waters could not interfere because there could be casualties.
All explanations are in Russian and, with a single exception when a wounded pirate tells something in English, all conversations are between the commandos - in Russian. Sorry if you don’t understand Russian but the pictures speak for themselves.
The Russian commandos searched the pirate ship for weapons and explosives, documented them, and took seven Somalian pirates. Then they left the ship and exploded it with all remaining pirates on it. Seems Russian justice dispensed based on 17th & 18th century law on the high seas.
I think we can safely assume the pirates will think a second time before attacking a Russian ship.
