Well… not a supporter of Russia, but if you sail in collision course to a war ship, ignore all the communication attempts (radio and flares), then you should not be surprised to hear a warning shot.
Try to do the same with an US war ship, the outcome will be the same.
The couple took issue with the Russian version of events.
Jane added: “They didn’t send up any flares, they didn’t try to radio us, they didn’t look to us like they were adrift, we were definitely not on a collision course. We were going to miss them. It just wasn’t an incident until the gunfire started.”
According to the couple, it doesn’t match up. I mean they could just be covering their asses, but Russia’s also kind of known for being assholes of late.

Yeah, it’s entirely possible the people on the yacht were below decks not paying attention.
