This is crazy. Shooters blow up some pirates trying to hijack a freighter. Looks like they hit an IED with a bullet. See how quickly the explosion material gets to the camera! https://x.com/BowTiedMara/status/1815552425828176224 I never really thought they carried a bomb with them. Hedley Lamarr: Wait, wait, wait. I'm unarmed. Bart: Alright, we'll settle this like men, with our fists. Hedley Lamarr: Sorry, I just remembered . . . I am armed. | ||

Can't tell if they were shooting at them with FN FAL's or G3's The barrel says FAL but the overall shape says G3 Anyway, "and boom goes the dynamite" | |||

I thought that too. But then you hear the bells. I'm wondering if they're sounding the horn as an alarm and then hearing alarm bells. My guess is that explosion was close enough that it could have done damage to the ship. Hedley Lamarr: Wait, wait, wait. I'm unarmed. Bart: Alright, we'll settle this like men, with our fists.

More like "FUCK YOU!"  The rifles looked like FALs to me too. Pretty good shooting, or lucky, but either way I'm happy with the outcome. | |||

Yeah, Houthi suicide drone attacking a container ship in the Red Sea. The security team is speaking Russian, though word is they're Ukrainian. Either might have some experience with this kind of threat, since its the naval warfarw means of choice in the Black Sea, too. Still impressive they fought it off with well-aimed 7.62 mm rifle fire. | |||

guessing the fuel on the boat was ignited by the gunfire? "Practice like you want to play in the game" | |||

Yea I thought I heard Russian, at first I thought they might have got them with a RPG. Forgot the Houthi have been using drone ships, thats probably what it was. | |||

Only in the movies...only explosives go boom like that. Video says Ukrainian security guys, my thought was either Russian, Ukrainian, Polish or Serbian...my ears can't tell the difference. All of those countries have quite a bit of citizens abroad as security contractors or, generally merchant mariners. | |||

That definitely was a movie worthy ka-boom! "It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946. | |||

I bet it came as a surprise to the boat’s driver. Nice is overrated "It's every freedom-loving individual's duty to lie to the government." Airsoftguy, June 29, 2018 | |||

He may have hit an RPG warhead. There was a flash of sparks over the camera.  He who fights with monsters might take care lest he thereby become a monster. | |||
