Do they plan to crash it into a skyscraper? Honestly, snagging a trawler ain't a really big deal for anyone not on that trawler. Pirates account for hundreds of such ships each year.

Given than the terrorists seized a Russian trawler, the only logical outcome is more dead terrorists.

Vladivostok is a major Pacific port. If they have a really nasty "boom-boom" with them, things could get hairy.
