#1 DELTA FORCE, Ranger, andor SEAL Units + NATO should be in the region, iff not already watching specific vessels. Iff the RUSS SPETZIES can't recover this and other ships, they'll try to sink 'em.

#2 If the Russians were already paid they would try to sink the ship. Otherwise they'll want it back.

#6 The pirates will hand this ship over to the Russians. They know full well that it means death or worse if they don't.

#7 #6 The pirates will hand this ship over to the Russians

More likely... pirates will depart the Ukranian ship and the AO very soon.

#8 I wonder if this was a setup so they could get the Iranian ship with the incriminating evidence on it.

#9 Hmmm... do the Russians have a credible aerial-refueling capability?

#12 My money is on the SPETSNAZ. They don't do finesse work, but their sledgehammer is damn impressive. Just make sure no "civilians" are on board, 'cuz they are as dead as the pirates.
