#1 The source added that after the pirates had been disarmed and their navigation equipment removed, they were "put into an inflatable boat" and pushed off into the sea

Did they give them oars?

The kind of Russian kindness reserved for the truly deserving.

Snicker. [Wondering if I am part Russian]

#8 The boat WAS the bucket of chum. The Russians talked like Euros, but they took nav equipment and let them go. I would guess that they did not give any water or rations to the pirates. So, good luck t'ye and off they went. No food and water and you have-----------Survivorman, Somali style, heh. Very clever of the Russians.
