Elite U.S. Interdiction: Commandos Storm Sanctioned Oil Tanker Aquila II — Watch
The U.S. military conducted a right‑of‑visit, maritime interdiction and boarding of the sanctioned oil tanker Aquila II in the INDOPACOM region, a vessel tied to Russia’s shadow fleet and Venezuelan oil. The DoW released footage showing commandos and a sniper advancing on the ship, framing the operation as an incident-free interdiction aimed at cutting off adversaries’ finances without direct confrontation.
