How the Russians deal with Somali Pirates
« on: January 03, 2012, 09:42:50 AM »
 RUSSIAN NAVY CAPTURES SOMALI PIRATES
How about that - The Russians captured the Pirates, tied them up, put them on the boats, then set them all on fire - puff no more Pirates!
NO POLITICAL CORRECTNESS BS HERE!  This video shows Russian Navy commandos on a Somalian pirate ship shortly after the pirates had captured a Russian oil tanker.  The Euro Union navy that patrols these waters would not interfere because they feared there could be casualties.
All explanations are in Russian with a single exception of when a wounded pirate says something in English and the Russian soldier says "This is not a fishing boat".  All conversations between the commandos are in Russian.  If you don't understand Russian, the pictures speak for themselves.
The soldiers freed their compatriots and the tanker.  The Russian Navy Commandos moved the pirates back to their own (pirate) ship, searched the pirate ship for weapons and explosives and then they left the ship and exploded it with all remaining pirates hand-cuffed to it.
The commandos sank the pirate ship along with the pirates and without any court proceedings, lawyers etc.  That is, they used the anti-piracy laws of the 18th and 19th centuries where 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, Russian ships will not be targets for Somali pirates.

what a thoughtless thing for the Russians to do....

Now all the ships of chicken chit "reach out" governments are gonna be faced with increased piracy due to the avoidance of Russian shipping.

Seems like piracy became an unpopular profession when they were hung .

"Wrecking" however was a tradition with a long and (semi ) honorable history.  ;D

Key West baby. Hell, playing a rousing game of "lets move the channel markers" was a popular past time well into this century. ;D

This is not the first time, here in the archives,...I posted a similar post regarding the "gentle nature" Russia holds for Piracy...

 ;)

Seems they took a lesson from Thomas Jefferson against the Barbary Pirates,,,(including the newly founded Marines),....and one we have forgotten...

This crap could end in two weeks if we had the "belly for it"...

Thomas Jefferson: The strongest reason for the people to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against the tyranny of government. That is why our masters in Washington are so anxious to disarm us. They are not afraid of criminals. They are afraid of a populace which cannot be subdued by tyrants."
Col. Jeff Cooper.

I think the pirates did. Too bad they didn't use ARs. All the plastic might have provided a bit of flotation. ;)
