TM’ers, too. This is from the comments section at the link. Interesting:

If the missile shipment is confirmed, this will become one of the worst sources of embarrassment for the whole of the Russian government agencies.

So, the Government has no control over the inventory of their advanced missiles which then can be sold without the knowledge of the highest office? So the Naval office is incapable of tracking a vessel for days on?

Don`t they weight the cost of launching a search party for a missing ship carrying “timber” involving nuclear submarines, attack ships and destroyers all the way from Russia to the coast of Africa?

So they know that the port of Tallinn is a smuggling center and they do nothing about it?

Either the top officials are very inefficient and therefore must resign in mass or else they think the World is stupid enough to tell us such absurd lies and pass mustard.

The other possibility is obvious: the Russian Government is firmly behind the illegal sale of weapons to Iran.

Hal Graves’s comment is the sixth (6th) comment below the original article.

If I can find it, you ought to be able to locate it, too.

Surely you know I don’t have a clue who Hal Graves is.

Now, you are wasting my time; look for yourself and please do NOT ping me again.

CLICK ON THIS LINK AND LOOK FOR HAL GRAVES:

The hijackers, the crew and two investigative teams were flown back to Moscow in three Il-76 air freight planes.

That is a helluva lot of for the hijackers, crew, and investigators. An Il-76 can carry just over 88,000lbs and 140 troops. Three such aircraft are carrying a lot more than jiackers, crew, and investigators.

Hal Graves is addressed by a poster in the third comment:

Vincent Vega wrote:
Hal Graves,
“Ship visited Kaliningrad and Finland, not Estonia, so how can you say anything about Port of Tallinn, especially it being smuggling center? Check the map.
Would be interesting to know what price those “pirates” will pay, are they locked away for years or will there be some kind of deal, they basically helped FSB with clumsy cover-up.”

HAL GRAVES COMMENT IS NOT SHOWN. MUST HAVE BEEN DELETED!

I checked again:

the third comment refers to something 'Hal Graves' wrote:

Vincent Vega wrote: Hal Graves, Ship visited Kaliningrad and Finland, not Estonia, so how can you say anything about Port of Tallinn, especially it being smuggling center? Check the map.

But Hal Graves' comment which the poster addresses, is not there.

I only posted his comment, and I’m not sure what else you need.
