  1. I know nothing about oil tankers, but I assumed a ‘Shadow Fleet’ tanker would be a old piece of shit. This thing looks pretty modern and new.

    Now that’s a fully loaded oil tanker. Millions of dollars worth of cargo. A big blow to Russia, its shadow fleet is finally under real pressure.

    Love to see how France makes a stand as a central european pillar. Let’s be real here, Europe is a rock in a sea of madness between russia, china and orange man land. A proud European.

  4. Nice to see France has modern camera equipment and not some grainy low-rez IR crap like all the US footage of operations uses

    There are 1500 ships in RuZZia’s shadow fleet.

    About 22 are captured, sunk, or too damaged to repair.

    I think NATO and UKR should just wait for them at all major RuZ ports, faster this way.

  6. Well done France!!

    Let’s hope the Orcs don’t come up with the idea of bringing MANPADS on their shadow fleet tankers!

    So what happens next? They land on the ship and take control. Do they then take it to a port and loot the cargo? I genuinely don’t understand how this “seizing of cargo ships” works
