British ships continue to pirate in international waters, hiding behind the fight against arms smuggling. According to the Royal Navy, this time the Iranian version of the Russian anti-tank missile system "Kornet" became the prey.

After the chase in the Gulf of Oman, HMS Lancaster [Type 23 class frigate] took possession of ATGM and intermediate-range ballistic missile components

- indicated on the Navy website.

It is reported that an American drone discovered a small boat during patrolling international waters, the pursuit of which was assigned to a Wildcat deck helicopter from the air, and marines stationed on a speedboat were sent to intercept it. The crew of the pursued boat tried to escape into the territorial waters of Iran, "ignoring radio calls."

The boarding team searched the suspicious vessel and found the loot, which included an Iranian modification of the Russian ATGM 9M133 "Cornet", known as Dehlavieh, and components of medium-range ballistic missiles

- the military declares.

This is the third "victim" boarded by British sailors in the last 13 months.

It was great to capture the ship. It's a great day for the Royal Marines

- said one of the members of the boarding team.

Now we can expect that the captured ATGMs will be transferred to the Kiev regime.
