Footage from a rare British operation: How marines captured a Russian tanker

British armed forces seized a sanctioned Russian oil tanker, Smyrtos, in the English Channel. The operation was described by British Prime Minister Keir Starmer as a blow to Russia and a reminder to those supporting Putin's actions in Ukraine that they cannot hide. The Ministry of Defense shared footage of the operation on social media, showing Royal Marines and specially trained police taking control of the ship over six hours. The Guardian reported this as the first such operation conducted by the UK.

Britské ozbrojené síly v neděli v Lamanšském průlivu zadržely sankcionovaný ropný tanker Smyrtos ruské stínové flotily.

„Tato operace zasadila Rusku další ránu a připomněla těm, kteří podněcují válku (prezidenta Vladimira) Putina na Ukrajině, že se nemohou skrývat,“ vzkázal britský premiér Keir Starmer.

Video z akce následně sdílelo britské ministerstvo obrany na sociální síti X . Záběry začínají pohledem na vrtulník, který se vznáší nad plavidlem.

Následně jednotky Královské námořní pěchoty a speciálně vyškolení policisté z britské Národní kriminální agentury zajistí posádku a rychle získávají nad lodí kontrolu. Celou akci podporují plavidla ozbrojených složek a Královské letectvo. Operace trvala zhruba šest hodin.

Britský deník The Guardian píše, že šlo o první operaci svého druhu vedenou Spojeným královstvím.

Bias read (Left): The article emphasizes the action taken against Russia and quotes the prime minister directly, highlighting the narrative of supporting Ukraine and opposing Putin. This framing aligns with a left-leaning perspective that supports Western intervention against Russian aggression.
