    Default Dutch boarding team ambushed by Somali pirates, firefight ensues(footage)

    Originally posted by SineJustitia in the DutchMilPics thread(http://www.militaryphotos.net/forums...=1#post5727641), but I figured the footage might warrant it's own thread:

    The marine/sailor boarding party was apparently ambushed, with the pirates opening up on the RHIBs at close range..the firefight resulted in two somali pirates killed, 16 captured and 16 Iranian sailors being freed. No info about casualties on our side, assumed none wounded.

    Privateering was an accepted practice back then. Look up the same category for the English for example..

    They lost their only chopper in Libya. Budget cuts are a bitch.
