Thanks for . the only detailed reports on these two incidents that I was able to find. Well done, sir.
i believe the water sprayers off the sides are part of repel boarders.
Third world
Great video Sal. Thanks!
Aloha from the Hawaiian Kingdom, Island of Maui/SMK! Very interesting site, the details of information is staggering! Sad to say, what it reveals is the total inability of mankind to govern itself! The "Laws" that men make, "International Law," other men can break! Not so the Divine Moral Law of God, codified in the Ten Commandments, which when broken the death penalty is automatically imputed to the law breaker, unless forgiven by the Lawgiver, upon repentance, and followed by a decided act of the will to never repeat the violation of the law, so help you – Lord! Your friend and brother in Christ.
Gotta give the houtis credit, they're the underdog in all this
May be an obvious answer but why do not all ships have 5 or 6 cheap drones like the ones they use in Ukraine?
Just fly one out to the boat drone and have it land on the boat and detonate?
Seems like an extremely simple solution to prevent being blown up.
😂😂😂😂😂 loosers….ZIONIST FILTH…..
water spraying on the side is for repelling pirate boats…its a nonsense action tbh
Stop the genocides. That's all it takes. British seniors lost heating allowance to fund war.. Americans are abandoned under water TO FUND WAR.
Damn, if that's the standard of private security for shipping, I could easily get over 150k.
"The world" is terrorizing Palestinians
Sam – terrorizing might be accurate – but this would never have happened if Israel had EVER been serious about the UN partition plan for Palestine with a 2 State solution. Israel has had more than 70 years to implement the 2 State solution – and instead of doing that, has done all it can to EXTEND the original borders of the state of Israel back in 1948. My advice to mariners and ship companies owners – redirect your ships down the East coast of Africa and make the long journey up the West side of that continent to a desired port. It will cause increases in shipping costs and times, but it's the best way for these shipping companies to avoid potential ship destruction.
travelling from Russia what is the routing. what was the ship doing in the gulf of Aden? Are the tankers still transiting through the red sea to go to Russia? If so they playing russian roulette literally
The US and UK don’t mind admitting that they are assisting in the genocide currently taking place in Gaza and West Bank so the pie chart shows that of the total Yemen is hitting 49% rather than 29% of vessels provably supporting Israel . Not good but it is significant.
The security guys could really do better if they have FPV (first person viewer) kamikaze drones as used by both sides in the Ukraine conflict. I’m sure these will be issued at some time in the future. Unfortunately this would prompt the Houthi to use missiles which would pose a far greater risk to the crew.
Great reporting… many thanks.
Sal, much respect. The mariners matter. Great report.
Why is YT deleting every single comment fuck this censorship bullship 🤬
Salute to these Brave Yamini Brothers !
Who are fighting practically without any fear against super powers for poor Palestinians and not waisting time in just condemnations and eye wash formalities !
I agree with you, freedom of the seas is the backbone of everyone's economy. But I have to take the Houthis side on this one. All of Israel's neighbors want peace but Israel continues to attack. So as Paul Lind would say, "skaruuu um"
A USV that looks like a crewed vessel. That's unfortunate.
It's probably insanely expensive and a safety hazard due to radiation from potential improper use in port, but I wonder if ships could be equipped with a radar that could jamm remote signals.
why so much oil? wasnt it just ballast tank number 6..lol
Surface ships are sitting ducks for drones, mines and missiles.
Vorbim de amatorism si imbecili angajati sa faca treburi serioase !
Well they didn't drop the drone, but at least he didn't drop his phone either
i agree the houthis definitely should be more selective. they have also bankrupted the port of eilat. gotta balance accomplishing that without attacking unrelated ships.
lol he is taking selfie for the boat and 0% accuracy who gives a stopeed indian a gun
Who are buying this oil. The western civilisation colonisation slavery OCCUPATION genocide corruption including NAZI NETENAHYU GENOCIDE OCCUPATION OF PALISTINE. Who drinks this black syrup not the mariners but their MASSAA HARVEYS. Rewrite your civilisation ❤❤❤❤
Any violence is wrong. It makes no sense. But apply same righteous principle to how we invaded Afghanistan and iraq over 9_11. Taliban did not do 9-11. Iraq did not. Osama was in Pakistan chilling. Apply same self righteous principle to evil senator Matt Gaetz calling for d bombing of families if d nikitary leadership over d sacking if d us military base. Reason ukraine war is raging is a paucity of just intercessors trusted and not involved
So why is this described as a British tanker in the main media? I see no British connection, this is obviously a Russian or Indian controlled vessel.
And if so why on earth are the Houthis doing something to annoy Russia??
Something very fishy here.
