Offshore Somalia, pirates shelled NATO flagship

Pirates fired at the flagship of the NATO naval group off the coast of Somalia - the Dutch frigate Rotterdam. One of the pirates was killed by return fire. This is stated in a statement by Commander (Rear Admiral) Commander Ben Beckereng, commander of the NATO naval anti-piracy operation “Ocean Shield”.

The incident occurred on Wednesday, October 24, while checking a suspicious lightweight sailing-engine vessel. As soon as the Rotterdam landed the boarding group on an inflatable boat, the crew of the vessel opened fire and tried to escape from pursuit, ITAR-TASS reports.

"In accordance with the rules of the operation, Rotterdam returned fire, as a result of which the pirates' vessel caught fire and the crew began to swim by the sea," Commodore Beckereng said.

During the shootout, one of the pirates was killed; there were no casualties aboard the Rotterdam.

The Dutch frigate boarded the crew of a pirate ship to 25.

During the short battle and the whole operation to catch the pirates on the "Rotterdam" was also aimed fire from small weapons from the shore that damaged one of the NATO inflatable boats.

Currently, several international naval groups are operating off the coast of Somalia to counter piracy. The NATO grouping in the framework of Operation Ocean Shield today includes the frigates Rotterdam (the Netherlands) and Haliburton (the USA).

This zone is also patrolled by warships of the EU countries involved in the Atalanta operation, and the so-called 151 Combined Task Force, which includes frigates and patrol ships of a number of Asian countries.

According to the International Maritime Bureau, this year, the activity of pirates off the coast of Somalia has decreased significantly - during the first three quarters of 2012, there were 70 pirate attacks, compared to almost 200 for the same period of 2011.

To paraphrase the known - if pirates exist, then someone needs this ...

[ShturmKGB]

They wanted to give Rotterdam, they thought it was a brothel, but they were mistaken ...

They wanted to give Rotterdam

Harroshiy "flagship", if "pirates" fire without hesitation, boats sink. It looks like a showdown in the 90s. They probably thought that "Rotterdam" was protecting them, and the Dutch opened fire in lawlessness, so the Somalis went wild ...

And who controlled the coast of this country? It was Great Britain, Italy and France.... Question. If these pirates are such a nuisance to the whole world, causing significant damage, then why don't these countries bring this to the UN Security Council and demand a No-Fly Zone, like in Libya? It's simple. They can't lose the "bandit tool" controlled by these countries, capable of any lawlessness in their territorial waters.... This would be equivalent to the US losing Al Qaeda... And everything else is a show for the world's suckers...

[Sakhalininsk]

To paraphrase this news, we can say that the news is utterly fake ... some kind of ... sorry the Africans fired from the berdan towards the Dutch frigate, and it’s as if the frigate had stuck for at least six months of dock repair ... one word
PS it’s a pity that the Somalis didn’t take the whole team led by
Commodore (Rear Admiral) Ben Beckering was not sent to take a walk on the board.

[Alexei]

Dutch frigate "Wrotherdam" The pirates simply had nowhere to go, it would be better to die in battle than to surrender to the mercy of "Wroterdam" ...

[Averias]

This smiled at me, a quote: the "Rotterdam" was also targeted by small arms fire from the shore, which damaged one of the NATO inflatable boats. Well, I can't laugh. It's like with - a pump on a bear - from machine guns to shoot at a frigate and even from the shore. It's like in a cartoon about a pig - Mistress, bullets whistled over your head. :)) NATO members thus show what "heroes" they are?

You know, this is how to say, bullet-fool! I got into a boat, and could fly into someone’s head! I don’t think that the pirates are so stupid that they planned to sink the ship in this way!)

[Readme]

It’s time to take note: it’s very convenient to hide behind the name of the pirates and in reality sink NATO ships. Moreover, pirates do not have to be based off the coast of Somalia.

[Beetle-a]

For example, this: An unidentified pirate nuclear submarine fired at a NATO RCC Yakhont convoy, 12 missiles were fired, 7 ships were sunk. Russia expressed its protest in connection with the arrogant actions of pirates.

[vadimN]

Quote: Beetle-A

Russia expressed its protest in connection with the arrogant actions of pirates.

... and sent its warships to the conflict zone (including vehicles to replenish supplies on a pirate nuclear submarine) ...

[Morok]

... The President of the Russian Federation expressed his readiness to send ships to patrol the US coast in order to prevent pirates from attacking civilians.

[Vanek]

Miracle of NATO flagship (judging by the photo). A corsair, a separate honor and respect.

Something tells me that this is not the flagship of NATO, but rather that same pirate boat, after all)))

[Vanek]

Well, you are so extreme to extreme.

[Jin]

Vanek,

Nothing personal! I'm not scoffing, just joking) At first I myself hung looking at this photo Logically, there should be a flagship, and everything else is already lower)

So actually and nothing bad

[Samovar]

What arrogant !!!
Incidentally, I thought it was a sinful thing that he was in the photo.

[Santa bear]

unlucky pirates ... fell into the hands of the Dutch .. they will punish them in their own way

[grizzlir]

Well, why punish. They will be given jobs in clubs such as BLUE LAGOON.

[Sasha 19871987]

scumbags))) the worst thing is that behind them are not the same wenders with machine guns, but smart bastards in strict suits, very clever puppeteers ....

[grizzlir]

Brave niggas or very stupid

[Jin]

Quote: grizzlir

Brave niggas or very stupid

But there was, quite recently, an article on the site, in which just one "authoritative" pirate said: we, like, are not afraid of patrol ships, we are afraid that we will have nothing to eat. There, by the way, the money circulation schemes are given. The pirates themselves get only crumbs from the master's table ...

[DIMS]

The main and huge profits from piracy are insurers.

[grizzlir]

When people do not have food, but have weapons, they cease to be afraid.

[Vanek]

that damaged one of NATO's inflatable boats

And the bullets fly, the bullets. Crazy fly, and not really.

This is from "Mango-Mango"

[Kaa]

Quote: Vanek

which damaged one of the NATO inflatable boats

Are they, I mean, about the flagship "Wrotthedam"? Inflatable women - I've heard, but inflatable NATO flagship frigates - it's finally ... beyond. Why did the Dutch have to smoke to think of such a thing? Here they are, wrestlers with pirates on inflatable frigates.

[Gorchakov]

Another staging by NATO special services, nothing but a smile....Clowns!!!

[insomnia]

Gentlemen, do not you think that with these freaks you need to act like in the XVIII century - to hang upside down on the springs? At least those who are guilty of seizing and (or) killing hostages.

[Jin]

Quote: insomnia

Gentlemen, but do not you think that with these freaks you need to do as in the XVIII century

The pirates themselves, just cannon fodder, a tool !!! Blame for the seizures, just, their "unattainable" owners, who sit in the most prestigious offices around the world. Here they, in fact, should be hung, for that matter!

And it seems to me that this should be done with the owners and with the performers .... It's high time ...

And I do not justify the performers, not at all !!! I'm talking about "where the legs grow from" and with whom you need to start)))

[Vodrak]

Gentlemen, now on ships with yards strains, there’s not enough for everyone.

[Jin]

Vodrak,

Well, if you fantasize a little, you can find a place))) Here, the notorious "international law" is the case! I'm talking about human rights, etc., but with their floating craft, they stand on ceremony much less) fortunately!

[Kaa]

Quote: insomnia

Are you talking about the crew of the "Rotterdam", which shot the first boat that came across?

[nerd.su]

And I think this is a signal to the sellers of RCC - the next market, black in every sense, has matured ... Nobody wants to carry out a ground operation in Somalia. Bullet yourself from the shore.

[Samovar]

Quote: bot.su

No one wants to conduct a ground operation in Somalia. Bullet yourself from the shore.

Yeah, until the aircraft rolls out.

[PSih2097]

Yeah, until the aircraft rolls out.

and there are MANPADS and air defense systems waiting for them ...

[nerd.su]

So pulnul and run. About RCC, I bent, of course, slightly :) But here's the thread from the barrel artillery or MLRS ...
They didn’t shoot at warships before. Now they have already shown their teeth. If there is no ground operation, they will begin to bite.

[andrei332809]

either beguiled something, or got stoned. or maybe drugs were given to the Dutch for a portion, and they were scared. something our BDKs do not fire

[WW3]

And where did the Somalis get high-speed boats with powerful motors? Where do they get them? Where did they get any, albeit rusty, but machine guns? Machine guns? Where did they get the latest communications? How did they get information about the UN ships leaving Mombasa, and how did the “pirates” know what was being transported to them? Where does all this good come from? Nothing is being done in Somalia. NOTHING AT ALL. And just start to delve deeper into this issue, how things are revealed and not at all good.
If there were no pirates, then they should be invented, and, invented, created. The current pirates rampaging in the Indian Ocean were not created. But they were invented.

[omsbon]

And I know, and have known for a very long time, the name of the pirate leader. His name is BARMALEY!

[TUNISIA]

It seems that Somalia is running into the establishment on its territory of democratic principles of the rights and freedoms of citizens based on the American model ... Fools ... They still apparently do not know how democracy is established in any African country. If only the telly would have watched something before firing into the NATO ship from the berdanas ...

[Jin]

TUNISIA,

They don't know in Somalia? The Lord is with you! Amer and there had time to fight. Kinchik is quite good about this "The Fall of the Black Hawk" is called. This operation is considered the most unsuccessful in the history of the Delta unit.

[Kaa]

Quote: Jin

And completely in vain. There was still a landing in Grenada ...

[nerd.su]

The most unsuccessful is Iran. It seems like a delta, if my memory serves me right, it screwed up there. And according to the results of American actions in Somalia, locals are generally sure that they are able to kick the Yankos ass. In vain of course ... It's just that the Americans are unlikely to go there. There is little oil, it’s not easy to put things in order, then answer for the pirates. And in general, Obama is a laureate of a peace prize, what a war!)

[Jin]

Quote: Kaa

Was there still a failure? Well, Amersa anneal !!! It is necessary to get an idea about it, thanks!

[Arkan]

Jin,
The film was shot beautifully, but it only reflects the ending of the plot (the sixth raid). If American cinemas showed how their special forces captured UN employees instead of Idid (the first raid in Mogadishu), it would be a good comedy.)) It was the most failed UN mission.

[Alex 241]

On the other hand, the UN staff were totally "delighted" and called the actions of the Americans "disciplined fire"

[Arkan]

Yes, and the delight of the inhabitants of Mogadishu - there was no limit.

[Alex 241]

In October, the delta and rangers ,,,,,,,,,,., From ordinary peasants, and the people's militia were treated with liquid feces.

[Jin]

alex 241 [/ b

Be that as it may, in Somalia they know not by hearsay about amerov's "democracy", I actually talked about this from the very beginning

[Arkan]

Jin,
Actually, a "peacekeeping operation" is the cause, and piracy is already a consequence.

[Jin]

Arkan,

I welcome you, Sergey!

[lelikas]

The NATO inflatable boat was damaged - not a single boat of the Netherlands Navy was injured. Then they probably fed the pirates, dressed up and released, giving them condoms for the last time ...

[Jin]

lelikas,
What? It's completely in their NATO spirit!

[Navuxonastupil]

Well, yes, on the one hand it's funny, but on the other hand these are the first shots of the coming war... Look at the birth statistics on the African continent, put these numbers on their standard of living... In 10-12 years the problem of fighting locusts, which simply want to eat, will arise. Weapons of mass destruction as a factor in Europe's survival... It's not far off.

[CARBON]

Maybe not an inflatable boat, but a NATO baba)

[Jin]

CARBON,

Yes, and in the fleet’s press center it’s dumb to write about it, that’s why they replaced it with a boat, so that it would be more impressive, but more powerful! )))

[taseka]

"Aimed small arms fire was fired from the shore, which damaged one of the NATO inflatable boats." - All night I will cry and rush about in a tantrum aaaaaaa !!!!! - inflatable boat!

[vladimir64ss]

NATO Navy showed its power and unbending power. The meeting ended with a buffet table. The naval victory raised the military spirit of the NATO troops to an unprecedented height.

[georg737577]

The NATO people know how to publicize the dubious exploits of killing left-wing men ... I’m personally not sure if anyone opened fire on their trough. Most likely - they shot a boat, and then picked a hole in a boat ...

[StrateG]

And in the photo, just their shot ship?

[UzRus]

Rotterdam returned fire, setting the pirate ship on fire “I wonder what they shot it with.”

[Captain45]

- The Dutch frigate lifted aboard the 25 crew members of the pirate ship.
In the good old days, no one would have caught pirates from the water, if they had taken aboard, the road was short to the nearest rhea. Well, now multicultural tolerant Dutchs came to the rescued by a jamb, and maybe something else ... type butt framed.

[NEMO]

Pirates fired on the flagship of the naval group of NATO off the coast of Somalia

A huge minus to pirates, because they did not capture and did not demand a ransom !!!
