I remember a few years ago when a Russian ship was seized by Somali pirates. It was recaptured by ruthless Russian special forces who then loaded up the Somali pirates including their wounded into their boat and then riddled it with gunfire sinking it. Videos were made of the event and circulated worldwide. Needless to say Somali pirates never again molested any Russian ship.

Actually they were not special forces. They were armed merchant marines and sappers. They supplied these pirates with plenty of fuel and mined the boat - explosion w/fireball happened a short time later.

and according to a freeper the Russians conduct hunt-a-pirate tours - deliberately baiting the pirates then allowing the client to waste them with AKs and other meaningful and fun toys.
