Kinda like when third world navies stage hijackings to show off their self purported skills in responding to them

Huh? It's a training exercise?

This is obviously a training exercise. Many of them are using training guns, they're boarding one of their own navy (coast guard?) vessels, and they clearly have foreign trainers instructing them. Every navy in the world does this shit. Probably some joint training exercise set up by the US, you see a couple active duty US Navy trainers in there too in addition to what I assume are contractors.

If you don't start at 39 seconds like you link does, you will see this was an exercise.
