That’s right, PIRATES.

A Russian warship headed for the seas off Somalia Friday after pirates seized a Ukrainian freighter carrying 33 tanks, munitions and other weaponry, officials said.

The Faina, with a crew of 21, including three Russians, was hijacked on Thursday as it neared the Kenyan port of Mombasa with a cargo of T-72 battle tanks, grenade launchers, ammunition and spares for the Kenyan military, they said.

Okay, call me crazy but if you’re on a ship with grenade launchers and some pirates come up trying to hijack your ship wouldn’t you just grab a grenade launcher and start firing?
