Russian Navy Commandos Capture Somali Pirates

This is part of the videotape showing Russian Navy commandos on a Somalia 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. If you don't understand Russian, the pictures speak for themselves.

The soldiers freed their compatriots, moved all the pirates to their own (pirate) ship, searched the pirate ship for weapons and explosives, and took seven Somalia pirates. Then they left the ship and exploded it with all remaining pirates on it.

The commandos sank the majority of the pirates without any court proceedings, lawyers, etc. That is, they used the anti-piracy laws of the 18th and the 19th centuries.

The captain of the rescuing ship has the right to decide what to do with the pirates. Usually, they were hanged.

I would think from now on the Russian ships will not be targets...

NO MIRANDA ISSUES HERE.
