Russia sends more troops to Africa

In the last weeks, Pirate attacks in Africa have grown in an abnormal fashion. Russia sends military troops there to secure tankers with oil and Gas. In this area, there is already an aid ship called Neustrashimy. It helped the crew of ships in many scenarios. But 1 ship is not enough for such a huge area so some more ships need to pack their crew and move there. The Russian government said in September their ships would work alone but the Neustrashimy grouped earlier also with the British ship HMS Cumberland to fight against the Pirates. NATO has already sent many ships (number unknown) to the Horn of Africa.
