Ever wonder what the Russian version of the PHALANX CIWS would do to a skiff crowded with Somali pirates?

Paying Money to Murder: Russian Luxury Yachts Offer Pirate Hunting Cruises

In a brilliant–if deeply disturbing–stroke of entrepreneurial genius, Russian luxury yachts have begun to advertise adventure cruises where passengers pony up almost $6,000 USD per day to cruise from Djibouti to Mombasa in search of pirates.

LOL!

"Paying Money to Murder?"
That's a born victim's view of the current piracy problem.

I prefer to call it modern Letters of Marque and Reprisal, and, in a sane world, waaaay overdue.

When did "shoot on sight" stop becoming the rational response to piracy? Seriously.
