The approach of the Turkish seiner with a Russian patrol ship at a distance of about 600 meters, in order to avoid a collision of ships , the direction of travel of the Turkish ship at a distance of guaranteed unaffected, was used small arms “, - stressed in the Defense Ministry.

When the Turkish vessel approached to about 600 meters, the Smetlivy opened small arms fire at a spot in front of the trawler, taking care to avoid any risk of hitting the Turkish ship itself, the report said.
The ministry said the Turkish fishing ship changed course after that and kept about 540 meters from the Smetlivy, but didn’t contact the Russian warship.

There is a real point here. The Russians did not sink the boat, but instead acted with restraint and did the necessary to get the boat to move away.

I was wondering what a turkey boat would look like, and there you have it. Makes sense now.
To: refermech
Just imagine have one shot at you from a Russian ship!

The Russians did not sink the boat, but instead acted with restraint and did the necessary to get the boat to move away.Unlike what Turkey did to a Russian plane, helicopter and pilot recently.
Smells like the Cole, part 2.
