So, a group of Somali pirates grabbed another cargo ship headed for Africa.
Little did they expect to find 33 Russian T-72 tanks.
They're currently asking for $20M in terms of a ransom for the tanks. All the while there are three warships surrounding the cargo ships and US Navy's 5th Fleet is deploying further vessels to make sure they don't go anywhere.
The tanks were en route to Sudan, even though the Kenyan government claimed they were headed there.

Just... I have to laugh.
