Looks like they are shooting on a pirate-boat full with Somalis. Or is this fake and the Somalis left the boat before it was attacked ? Does anyone have more info on this incident ?

Sinking the pirate ships any Navy capture is standard practice, they have no inclination to transport or store them and it gives an opportunity for target practice. Thats what this video is showing IMO, its very heavily edited and if it was more along the lines of leaked raw footage it would be more believable.

I will agree with Jhagiti Tyran as the first shot is of a 'Russian' taking down the flag, hence the boat had probably been abandoned.

Also heavy editing is really heavy. Almost sensationalised.

The boat was clearly empty when they were firing on it.

It's standard practice to sink the vessels once they've been emptied.

We should start a plex drive for pirates, because pirates are people too.
