Вставка
- Опубліковано 29 жов 2021
- In November 2008, a British Frigate and a Russian Frigate were called upon to help a Danish-flagged cargo ship called the MV Powerful. By the end of the day, two teams of Royal Marines were launched to conduct a boarding operation against an enemy dhow.

It's nice to see the two nations militaries working together instead of winding eachother up in the skies over the North Atlantic 😂👌
It's definitely a NO NO to mess with both the Royal Marines and the Russian force. It's like a double suicide.
The Russians yes but the British armed forces are a liberal force and likely couldn’t fire a single round without being hauled before the courts for war crimes by Labour voting liberals
@@captainhindsight8779 Britain rules the waves have you seen the state of the Russian aircraft carrier it needs a tug boat
@@mall231 r/whoosh
@@mall231 he got a point tho, russians seem to deal with piracy in a more expeditious manner. Western forces have their hands bound more often than not.
@@mall231 The thing is, Russia really has no use for an aircraft carrier right now. It simply exists so that they can say "look, we have a carrier". The state of an aircraft carrier that isn't needed and isn't intended to fight anybody really says nothing about the capabilities of Russian ships that are actually combat-ready. And you don't need a carrier to fight pirates.
As for ruling the waves, I'd say that's the country that has as many carriers as the rest of the world together. I'll give you a hint, it's not Britain.
All the countries involved are the most recent rivals/nemeses. It’s a good thing to see we’ve worked together and have put aside old grievances.
This aged like milk
Awesome content as always. Keep up the good work.
The ship's name is Ne-ustrashimy (two syllables at the start), it means "Fearless".
Exceptional video as always!
I really enjoy your content. Thank you!
Russia was a NATO Partner-for-Peace and invited to every NATO summit until 2014
Wish we could work with the Russians more ,I have nothing but respect for them
I'm from Argentina, and not only I wish to work more with Russians, but with your people too (even knowing the Malvinas (Falklands) situation)
I'm British and would also be pleased to see more close co-operation with Russia and Argentina (our traditional allies the US, appear to me to be in a cultural downward spiral)
@@redberries8039 Thanks man! But before that co-operation will happen (British and Argentinian Armed Forces), we need to first take out the Argentinian trash (AKA my president and his criminal partners)
@@redberries8039 This cultural spiral is affecting the entire Western world, not just the US - it's just most noticed in the US because a) our president is a woke, senile clown and b) we get the most media/coverage
@@worwor1721 Can you pass me more details, please?
GREAT AS ALWAYS
I love this channel, keep it coming 🙏🙏👍👍
Keep up the outstanding work. I hope your channel and video views grow.
I like to believe that sometime in the future, however many years down the road, the US, NATO, Russia and China won't have hostile relations towards each other, and maybe start to become friendly. I hope that I get to live to see even the beginning of that.
This is wishful thinking, and I know it.
Also I refuse to take credit for jinxing it lmfao
Yes absolutely totally agree you would think history would have shown us that by now...
No chance
China is the new Nazi Germany
And then we will reach out beyond our solar system and colonize the galaxy. I like that thought.
Hopefully the China you're referring to is the Republic of China and not the CCPs tyranny-state.
When X2 teams of Royal Marines Commandos are on your arse you just know its not gonna end well for you
Those pirates are fortunate it was Royal Marines. The Russians probably would have shown a little less restraint....
Suprised the remaining pirates weren't brought to the UK & put in a 4* hotel !!.
I love that we named our warship after a sausage.
Commentary is a masterclass on being discrete, understated ..........
I’d imagine being on a counter piracy mission to be as close to a video game as possible. Especially when you’re a heavily trained commando vs a hungry Somalian.
Nah the hungry Somalians were the ones waiting for the contents of the ship to be safely delivered. These pirates live pretty well, and has greed motivating them, as opposed to hunger.
@@comanchio1976 Until the russians find them, tow them miles out, 300nm into open water, take all of their navigation equipment and leave them in a rubber boat (probably a life boat) with some food and water and just left them adrift
@@comanchio1976, while the Somalians, will undoubtably eat from the ship’s store’s, until they reach their port, they’re not like traditional pirates, because they are not after the cargoes..!..!..!..
These days, they are just going out for the ransom money, because they have lost their fish, to the massive fishing factory vessels, which have raped their waters, and taken their livelihood..!..!..!..
And if this hadn’t happened, then they wouldn’t need to risk life and limb in the pursuit of ransom money, which is something that all ships are insured for now, and which is helping to drive them to carry on trying to get it, because millions(5/10/15,000,000) of dollars is a big incentive..!..!..!..
I think you'd be surprised, these are like multi million £ piracy rings. I'd imagine they get fed somewhat decently.
Nice job.
I was lucky/unlucky enough the see the Ka27s in actions, such a fast nimble (not so)little thing
🇩🇰 Thank's 🙏🏼 Cheers from Denmark
It’s a pleasure
I thought this was operations room for a sec, but still awesome vid nonetheless.
I never thought I'd hear Britain and Russia in this context working towards a singular objective
Reminds me of that mission in COD Modern Warfare, where you rescue Nikolai
With the assistance of Sgt. Kamarov.
Captain Price and Nikolai 🇬🇧🤝🇷🇺
Im proud Pateron of this excellent channel, // Jes Kg
Incredible.
Nice.
surprised the russians didn’t send a torpedo into the side of the ship
I suggest doing operation Eland, Selous scouts 1976
Yes absolutely!
4:09 lol imagine a boat full of red heads coming after you you know you've messed with the wrong people
Is now a good time for another joint operation!?
I hope to see more videos about russian forces. Of course it would be cooler to see them working together with other forces.
Not much chance of any NATO forces working with Russian war criminals now.
Name a more iconic duo
Edit: A duo besides,
- Pirates and the Gulf of Aden
- Liveth For Evermore and uploading at 18:00 BST
Can you do a video on Operation Cactus, in which Indian Special Forces (Para SF) saved Maldives from the deadly 1988 coup détat attempt.
Can you cover the US rescue of the North Korean ship?
HMS Somerset is a Type 23 frigate not Type 22 ! 7Ps .
How times have changed
What’s the name of the music you use in the backround
Just imagine Russia instead of Turkey in nato…. Scary
Years ago I saw you tube video of the Russians dealing with a pirate ship they captured. They simply put a charge on it and blew it to pieces it made no mention what happened to the pirates.
Those pirates are shark shit now.
When pirates get caught, they should be more severely dealt with.
Do it the russian way,
Russia and Britain both Great Nations of Europe 👏👏👏👏👏👏
Rum and vodka two punch combo.
Peace on Earth.
when trying to get street cred goes wrong
One mistake is that it’s the type 23 not 22 easy accident
I initially thought that, but, having looked again, it appears Cumberland was a type 22. Served from 1986, decommissioned 2011.
Why this has come upon feed now? Wenge - Egeer are recruiting UK veterans for Mali
PER MARE PER TERRAM
Nieustra shi mi hahha good one
It means fearless or intrepid in Russian.
Your gonna need a bigger boat.
If only the British King had rescued his Russian Cousin Tsar Nicholas. What a different world we all might be living in today.
The German cousin ruined that party.
Tsar Nicolas was an incompetent head of state
@@Peoples_Republic_of_Devonshire He was a lot better than what replaced him. I’ll take incompetent over
“Hello there, we’re the Bolsheviks, we’ve taken control and 20 million of you lot have to die”
@@goodshipkaraboudjan How so?
The international/global politics does not works that way, I watched documentary how the American betrayed the Israelis not warning about the attack lead to 73 war, I don't think their is single roller in this world aren't selfish in way that he don't care about anyone else fate including his ow people.
Why were the pirates brought before a kenyan court? Why not theInternational Tribunal for the Law of the Sea in Germany?
It comes due to a slew of difficulty of international laws which make convicting pirates very hard. Germany for example wouldn't have the jurisdiction to detain them for international piracy due to the working of German Law since no German nationals or German registered ships are involved. Kenya on the other hand laws are made in a way in which they can detain and convict international pirates if they attack any nations ships and crews and have been given the job and support by the UN, EU, and other organisations and nation states to operate a special court specifically for piracy in international waters.
They _opened fire_ on Royal Marines?
There's ballsy, then there's just bloody _stupid._ Two of them found that out the hard way that day.
Good to hear uk and Russia working together.
Dude. Vodka and Tea working Hand in hand. That must have been a cool experience!
Except for the Marines.
Even less for the Somalis...
But Times have changed... 2021...
A bit wierd they refer to MV Powerful as danish.. its owned by Excel Maritime Carriers Ltd. of Greece.. It's only flagged danish for some wierd reason, possibly as a tax loophole.
How
Would’ve had a 2nd Entente had Putin not existed.
Putin isn't really the issue - or at least he's just one part of it. Putin has always been willing to work with the west as long as they were willing to work with him, in fact not so long ago some groups in Russia used to criticize him for being too friendly with the west. But Putin, whatever his faults, puts Russia first and defends Russia's interests. And Russia under Putin has rebuilt to the point where it can do that. It's NATO that can't deal with Russia being strong enough and willing to stand up to them.
Wish they were authorized to sink these craft
Russian Ship's look *awesome*
why is there sanctions on russia again?
It’s the US and NATO’s fault it’s because there scared of the Russian Federation and her military as a former Tanker in the Royal Wessex Yeomanry I would of liked to work with the Russians
I think I know
👍🇸🇪❤️.
NICE BUT LET THE PEOPLE INVOLVED DO THERE JOB WHITHOUT RESTRICTIONS.
Royal Marines not British Marines please.
A Song of Ascents. Of David. Behold, how good and how pleasant it is For brethren to dwell together in unity! It is like the precious oil upon the head, Running down on the beard, The beard of Aaron, Running down on the edge of his garments. It is like the dew of Hermon, Descending upon the mountains of Zion; For there the LORD commanded the blessing- Life forevermore.
(Psalms 133:1-3 NKJV)
Honestly the British and Russians have similar outlooks and views on things. 🇬🇧 ❤ 🇷🇺
Having lived in both places, honestly they don't :-D But both have a lot of good points as well as a few bad ones, I wish their politicians could get along better.
@@user-rf9mx4qf7z When I read Tolstoy, Solzhenitsyn the characters seem to me to be similar to the English of the same period. The British are more self-deprecating, the Russians more stoic. Solzhenitsyn especially could be a stoic Englishman with an extremely dry sense of humour. But perhaps the British have been in the orbit of US culture for too long now?
@@redberries8039 Bear in mind with Tolstoy that it's a) 200 years ago and b) his main characters (reflecting his own background) belong to an upper class that was deliberately modelled on western Europe. Solzhenitsyn is more relevant to modern Russian culture, though even there the end of the Soviet Union and the 90s have left an imprint.
I don't deny that there are similarities. People are people, I'm sure you can find a lot of parallels between any two cultures you like. But on the whole, I find that Russians are most similar to Americans - not the liberal city types, but the rural, more conservative, independently-minded kind of American. Although younger Russians in major cities are increasingly becoming more like the other type.
I think the response to coronavirus shows some of the differences pretty well. In Britain, when they brought in new restrictions, most people followed them (and were angry with the ones who didn't). In the US, when they introduced restrictions, people went out to protest. In Russia, when they brought in restrictions, everybody shrugged, followed them for a week, and then life went on pretty much as normal.
P.S. I don't think there's as much of the stoicism left in British culture as they like to think. But one thing Russians and Scots at least definitely have in common - they both do love their drink.
@@user-rf9mx4qf7z You make a lot of sense; I agree with everything to some degree. I think perhaps in the countryside of North England (I'm in Lancashire) we are a little closer to that traditionalist class you mention from the US?
(your English is perfect, sounds native)
@@user-rf9mx4qf7z (your US assessment sounds like Dugin :) )
🇦🇺🇬🇧🇷🇺⚓️👍
Quite funny reading these comments... Wonder what the thoughts of the people are nowadays
Damn this dude has given up on US special forces vids smh
Because the yanks aren't the only military in the world?
Not our fault the Americans are self centred
@@Peoples_Republic_of_Devonshire lol there hasn’t been a US special forces vid in like 7 months, I was just wondering why?
@@Peoples_Republic_of_Devonshire also you are attempting to insult Americans on American made UA-cam lmao what a loser🤣🤣🤣
@@Peoples_Republic_of_Devonshire Without the US, say goodbye to the UK lol China and Russia would have a field day😂 wait……is that the same UK that has a smaller economy than the state of California? LOL
Such a pity that after being allies in ww2 we became enemies , when the cold war finished it pisses me off that NATO didn't ask Russia to join . How the world would be so much better if we had .
Russia was a NATO Partner-for-Peace and invited to every NATO summit until 2014
That Russian frigate looks very menacing!
**test**
*test*
Dont know why we fight agsinst the Russians,they have same values as the west
Do they?
That was crap no content
The content is the story.
What would u like the channel to do? Make up stuff that didn't happen to make it seem more exciting ?
The video is an historically accurate account of what happened.
Hardly crap when that was it's purpose.
@@woodybenjam No I would rather they didn't bother producing it ,it was crap
@@johnharrop5530 So crap that you felt the need to comment about it.
Goodbye, close the door on the way out. You wont be missed.
@@woodybenjam Nah he’s right LFE should’ve shown us slowed GO-pro footage of the Marines Apprehending a Somalian while doing a voiceover freeze frame+ zoom in on pirate ~ *oh* *no*
