Off the coast of Somalia, pirates have seized a Ukrainian freighter carrying 33 Russian built T-72 battle tanks. Either the Russian, U.S., or French navies may intercept to recover the cargo. As the article states, it is difficult to sell such materiel without attracting attention.
The tanks were purchased by the government of Kenya.
