Wonder if they mistook them for Japanese torpedo boats.

Only if they also thought they were living in the early 20th century.
Since Putin is basically a czar, maybe they are.
Just like to point out:
The Aurora also started the October Revolution of 1917.
Here’s hoping history rhymes.
I commented about this before seeing your comment! Man Russian navy has one hell of a track record!
Pricks.
I can understand picking on the Norwegians.
They’re much less likely to be sunk than if the were picking on Ukraine.
The dangerous, threatening fishing boat.
C'mon now, a bigger target might fight back. Best not open that can of worms. Might end up looking foolish.
“In response to Russian weapon fire, NATO forces fired a warning volley at the offending warship. The crew of said warship was forced to seek refuge aboard a nearby civilian fishing vessel”. The fishing Captain is quoted as describing the situation as “awkward”.
If only.
Fully defending their interests? In foreign waters? They are getting a bit big for their britches. Especially as they seem to have decommissioned their aircraft carrier and sent the crew to fight in Ukraine…
That aircraft carrier had the best combat record in the Russian Navy too, took out a floating dry dock all on its own using the element of surprise!
It’s like the entire russian military is run by zapp brannigan.
“Surprise!”

Article 5?
Remember when the Russian navy thought fishermen were the Japanese navy so they attacked them and they still lost the battle?
What a deathmarch

It’s all fun and games until the Norwegian fishing boat comes closer, the scarecrows in the wheelhouse fall over, and 20 tons of Ukrainian ANFO detonates.
