Already the second time, isn't it!? I seem to remember there was another attack on a navy vessel in past months, too.

IIRC the first time it was a Russian military supply vessel

Do you think it possible they knew it was French this time?

It doesn't say much for the French ship if they didn't think it was navy.

Le guns are not needed, we scare you with our hairy women!!

I thought french military ships were just cargo vessels with Airsoft guns and advanced propulsion capabilities, how did the pirates catch them, I mean the moment the french see a pirate they are gonna turn tail and run.
