Article raises a good point- how is this incident different from the last highjacking of a Russian vessel; those pirates were delivered to Moscow for trial. So why the supposed release..?

Catch and release is cheaper than feeding these parasites in prison, particularly if the "inflatable" is cheap . . . and leaking.

I think there is almost NO chance they were released. They were executed and tossed overboard.

I really don’t get all the flap over this!!
If you are so reckless as to attempt piracy on the high seas, you have basically forfeited all right to proper treatment from authorities, and especially from the authorities of the country whose shipping/merchantmen you have just assaulted!

I hope Moscow told the Russian sailors to put bullets in the pirates heads, and “free” them by dumping their bodies over the side. That way they save transportation costs, and the bother of guarding them.

“and even suspicion the pirates might have been killed”
If the Ruskies had any balls left those pirate would have died a painful death.

Knowing the Russians, my bet is that they're feeding the fishies as we speak.

Just because they were “released” doesn’t mean that they were alive when it happened.

I don't believe there are any bleeding heart liberals in Russia.
The scum are now feeding sharks. . . . .

Use better bullets—train shooters better. Simple. Sharks need food, also.

I’ve not always had good things to say about Russians; particularly during the Soviet era, but THIS is ONE aspect of the Russian psyche that I have always admired: their hard-nosed, no-nonsense manner in dealing with clear and present threats to them.
The Russian response to threats from terrorists and other such elements is, and most always has been, clinical, utilitarian, and final. The old Soviet empire, while it is legitimately castigated for its handling of those who expressed dissent over its policies, seemed most often to “get it right” on matters such as we have at hand.
So, then, I think the only unanswered question is, “How does a Somali say ‘Shark bait’?”

“Freed” in the technical sense.
Throw them overboard, and let them freely swim 500 miles home.

Wow, this didn’t take long. Seems like I had just read about the Russian ship being taken and people posting comments about here come the Speznez.

I saw one report that the Russians released them in an inflatable raft miles off the coast of Somalia. Catch and release has a different meaning for the Russians.
