This videotape 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 hung.

I would think from now on, Russian ships will not be targets for Somalian
pirates..

wow thats some tuff stuff. them somalians need this treatment. bravo to the russians.

I've been in that country and that guy laying on the deck with his leg bleeding ain't Somali, somekind of Arab I'm guessing.

Prolly a poor career choice to be a Somali Pirate. The sad part is that most of them didn't have a choice and I think the Russians did exactly the right thing. Sometimes Life Sucks and then you die.

Nothing useful to add.

From what I remember of the country not alot of anything in the jobs dept. Just one big ghetto.

You talking about the US?

Got Change?
