They might want to avoid war with Russia right away, hence. Meanwhile Russia is pretending to bully a NATO country.

Not so clever causing a tantrum like that while hitting Norwegian territory.

But if a NATO warship shoots a warning shot in response, Putin and all his bootlickers would be “appalled and outraged at a blatant and heinous violation of international law”.

Did anybody check for japanese torpedo boats in the area?

Do the russians need a reminder of how effective a Naval Strike Missile by Kongsberg is?

It’s the Russian Baltic fleet all over again, except it seems intentional stupidity not regular stupidity.

It’s not a warning shot if you shoot at a ship in it’s territorial waters.
NATO should deploy a destroyer group to guard vessels in response.

did he throw fish back? As a counter warning, I mean

The Russian navy is shooting live ammo at Norwegian fishing vessels in Norwegian waters.
And getting away with it.
It’s still the Neville Chamberlains dealing with the tyrant. And it’s not going well for the West.

I would be worried if the norwegians were shooting at them. Specially in Antarctica

Imagine illegally impeding on Norway’s EEZ and feeling threatened by the simple presence of a NORWEGIAN, FISHING, boat to the point of FIRING in their direction.
This is a nation that claims to be serious and legitimate.
Let Ukraine unconditionally strike them with long-range western weapons and let’s end this shit once and for all.

Well, they do have [experience](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dogger_Bank_incident) with this sort of thing.
I’m surprised Russia was able to get that weapon system to operate properly…I’m surprised it didn’t cause issues where the ship almost sank!
That is perilously close to being an act of war
Getting some real The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare vibes here
They were looking for new beluga whales to train.
Given recent events my money i son the fishing boat.
They should probably save the ammo.
