How Russian Marines Ended a Pirate Siege in the Gulf of Aden

On May 5, 2010, the Russian oil tanker Moscow University was attacked by Somali pirates in the Arabian Sea. Carrying $50 million in crude oil and 23 crew members, the ship seemed like an easy target. But the pirates underestimated the discipline of the Russian captain and the nearby presence of the destroyer Marshal Shaposhnikov. This documentary breaks down the tactical timeline of the hijacking, from the initial assault to the crew's retreat into the "citadel"—a fortified panic room that turned the ship into a floating fortress. We analyze the siege dynamic, the daring helicopter reconnaissance, and the 22-minute special forces raid that reclaimed the vessel without losing a single hostage. Finally, we explore the controversial aftermath: the legal paradox that led the Russian navy to disarm the pirates and cast them adrift in the open ocean. Join us for a deep dive into modern maritime warfare and the day the rules of engagement changed.
