It looks like the Russian Navy has a more effective way of dealing with somali pirates...virtually no recidivism here!

LOL, it even says at the end:
"No pirates were harmed at the filming of the destruction of the pirate boat" :)

they also note the ship name - destroyer "Admiral Shaposhnikov"

I did a quick lookup on Russian navy forums and looks like this vessel indeed worked as part of European task force in that area

looks like someone aboard made this video that answers the question "What did the Russians do with pirates..." :)

video is pretty bad and the bits with turrets moving are probably not even from the same vessel, but that lt commander in dress shirt on a machine gun was funny and I did read on the forums that they basically did a little target practice with that skiff they took from pirates. it was never mentioned that the captured pirates were actually on the skiff at that time :) but the video shows it

I believe they put the pirates on a large raft in the middle of nowhere and left them to fend for themselves.
