Well done! Gain experience. Now pirates are a big problem all over the world.

[Petya]

The pirates?
Really))

[domokl]

Well done Pacific! And they do the work and train the sailors and the crews rally ... Such operations are important not only as a real defense against the pirates (although it seems that the pirates will not risk attacking such a convoy), but also as a demonstration of the strength of the Russian fleet in general .. . The world should know that the ocean is not an American or NATO patrimony, but as it was originally called WORLD ... i.e. belonging to all the people of the earth ...

[Hauptmannzimermann]

Well done guys, no one works there better than Russian sailors. The Hindus and Chinese have pirates "snatched" ships straight from the convoy. The Russians have never had this. Everyone recognizes that ours competently ensure the safety of navigation.

[Vrangel]

Russian sailors released Somali pirates.
HOWEVER, that would make them more like pirates, gouge them all out of the eye, and chopped off the leg ... :)

[Hauptmannzimermann]

Pirates on one leg and one eye will "work", there is enough of this infection, even before the approach to Bab el-Mandebsky they begin to play naughty and will not "relax" almost to Sri Lanka. In the area of ​​Madagascar and the Maldives are also showing activity. They are already trying to "clog" the frequencies of the attacked ships. They are developing technically. For complete happiness, they do not have enough sappers to blow up the doors on the ship.

And that it is impossible to drown all the pirates that were spotted a little and to be discovered, and there will be fewer of them, otherwise they will fuss with them and discuss the violation of human rights. Who said that they are people? IMHO ...

At sea in a real situation, where the entire crew is at combat posts with working mechanisms - this is the practical development of standards. And then standing at the wall, only rust. For example, when a ship is sailing at a speed of 30 knots, receiving an introductory message - "a hole in the forward engine room below the waterline" - the fulfillment of this standard is fundamentally different from the same input, only at the wall. And if the sea is also humpbacked ... Who served on the ship knows. And the presence of our ships in the seas and oceans of the world plays an important role in enhancing the image of the Sea Power.

In addition to pirates, there are many fishermen, peaceful smugglers. They already began to drown them a little. There is a guerrilla war at sea and for its solution it is necessary to go to land. In Puntland, there is a whole infrastructure with training centers, their fleet bases. Behind this business, they say that the British are standing. The pirates have modern means of communication, navigation. The weapons are far from rusty, as many people think. And they do not collect ammunition on the fields of the old battles, they are all factory-capped. Besides the Somalis, the whole international already exists. Pakistanis, Yemenis and so on.

photo from Aden. The Dutch prepare the helicopter for takeoff (far away, but slightly visible). The pirates tried to attack the "container" in broad daylight.

[master joker]

A well-kept ship, which, unfortunately, is not enough of such ships in our fleet!))))

[PLO]

at Pacific Fleet only 6 running ships of the ocean zone are left (

[ikrut]

Nothing. Today is 6, tomorrow there will be 16, and the day after tomorrow 36 ... Everything goes to that. The fleet is growing, not shrinking, as under the liberal democrats in power.

[Per se.]

Imagine a picture, the roof is leaking in the house, and the owners, instead of repairing it, only substitute basins for leaks from year to year. All warships in the Gulf of Aden are the same "basins", it is necessary to fight the cause, not the effect, although, of course, sometimes you have to substitute the basin, but not from year to year, and there is no end in sight! Who are these terrible pirates, on motorboats, with small arms? Uneducated, or even dark Somali poor from the coast. To whom and where do the insurance and payments for boarding ships flow away? Why the same States, which can block the entire Gulf of Aden with their ships, do not show much interest in the problem, and why the "bases" of these pirates, often rows with villages, have long been known. Here's what I would like to understand.

[Per se.]

I explain, you have to deal with pirates on land, and special services to look for those who are behind this piracy, which has become a fairly profitable business. One patrol of the problem cannot be solved, especially if the British are behind it.

[Uralm]

On the territory of Somalia, hardly anyone wants to set foot, Ask the American special forces! The latter they seemed, the more oil is not there

[slave420]

We wish there were more such pirates to our sailors, so that when the war begins they would soak the Anglo-Saxons)
