Rico says his friend Tex forwards this:
The video shows Russian navy commandos on a Somalian pirate ship, shortly after the pirates had captured a Russian oil tanker. The European Union ships patrolling these waters had not interfered, fearing there could be casualties.
All explanations are in Russian, with the 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 the pirate ship, searched the pirate ship for weapons and explosives, then left the ship and exploded it, with all remaining pirates handcuffed to it.
The commandos sank the pirate ship, along with the pirates, without any court proceedings, lawyers, etc. That is, they used the anti-piracy laws of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, where the captain of the rescuing ship has the right to decide what to do with pirates. Usually, they were hanged. There has not been a single Russian ship attacked since...
Where does the information come from that the Russians put the pirates back onboard their ship before blowing it up? Although they were on the pirate vessel at first, toward the end of the video they are definitely on the warship just before their ship is detonated.
