On March 23, the Philippines once again provoked the mainland, and the video of the Chinese coast guard water cannon was wildly circulated on the Internet, attracting applause from the Chinese people, and the Chinese coast guard water cannon also became famous in this incident.
This incident focused all the attention of the Chinese people on the South China Sea, but at this time it was found that this is not the first time that the Philippines has acted like this, and how powerful is the Chinese coast guard water cannon?
A Philippine supply ship was attacked by Chinese coast guard water cannons
On 23 March, the Philippine warship "beached" was warned by the mainland many times because it was carrying construction materials into the mainland's waters, but the Philippines was unmoved and insisted on entering.
Under such circumstances, the mainland could no longer tolerate such behavior and counterattacked, intercepting it with coast guard water cannons, which sprayed at the Philippine warships, which were quickly pierced.
The windshield in the cabin was shattered, the ship's board was also broken, and from the outside, it could be seen that the ship was directly tilted, and it felt like it would capsize if it lasted a little longer.
The crew could only hide in Tibet, and under the suppression of the water cannons, the crew could no longer withstand such an impact, and the Philippine crew waved a white flag on the warship.
After this incident, the Chinese coast guard water cannon can be said to be famous in World War I, but in fact, this is not the first time that the mainland has used water cannons to counterattack the Philippines.
Last year, a Philippine transport ship was hit once by the mainland's coast guard water cannon.
At that time, they did not take it seriously, so just three months later, they once again sailed their transport ship to the hungry sea area of the mainland.
At this time, the mainland's water cannon once again gave the Philippines a cold bath.
After that, the United States was only talking about it, and it did not help the Philippines substantially.
As the saying goes, "nothing more than three", the Philippines' behavior has undoubtedly really angered the mainland, and this time they have truly seen the true power of the Chinese coast guard's water cannons.
In the face of this incident, Gan Yuzheng, spokesman of the China Coast Guard, told the Philippine side: "Those who play with fire will bring humiliation on themselves, and the China Coast Guard will be ready to fight all the time and resolutely safeguard China's territorial sovereignty and maritime rights and interests." ”
Landing ship USS Sierra Madre
So many people wonder what the Philippines is trying to do in the waters of the mainland by driving cargo ships all along? Is it just for provocation?
On 9 May 1999, the Philippine landing ship Sierra Madre headed for Ren'ai Jiao on the mainland, a dilapidated tank landing ship.
So the Philippines used this as an excuse to send people to this warship every year for maintenance and maintenance, so the Philippine navy will be stationed here for a long time.
At a glance, it became clear that this was a small calculation by the Philippines, and the mainland began to urge the Philippines to tow the warship away as soon as possible, and China also sent some daily necessities to the warship out of humanitarian concern.
However, the Philippines was bound to carry out the dead skin to the end, and they remained unmoved after years of urging, and to this day the warship is still parked near Ren'ai Jiao, and it has been used as an excuse to deliver supplies many times during this period.
How strong are the water cannons of the Chinese Coast Guard
After this incident, many people also realized for the first time that there are weapons such as water cannons, and the attacks of water cannons look like the high-pressure water cannons used by our firefighters, is it really such powerful?
The water cannon, like her name, uses water as a cannonball and then uses high pressure to spray water out, and the water cannon not only directly hits the target, but also adjusts the shape of the water flow.
Water cannons include direct current jet, atomized jet and strafing, etc., in which different substances can also be added to increase the lethality of the water cannon.
Among them, the lethality of direct current injection is definitely the strongest, and this time the mainland used direct current injection against the Philippines, but many people are doubting the accuracy of the water cannon.
Because the water cannon did not go straight to the wheelhouse, it was more to impact the radar system antenna above the ship, but after knowing the voice of the Philippines, everyone understood that it was not that the water cannon was inaccurate, but because the lethality was too strong.
We only used water cannons to repel them, and if we really wanted to kill them, it was not water cannons, but artillery, so we just damaged their communication equipment with water cannons, and even this caused many Filipino crew members to be injured.
At this time, some people asked why the Philippines didn't fight back with water cannons? In fact, don't look at him like a big water cannon, but there are really few people in the world who can have such a high-power high-pressure water cannon.
A country like the Philippines, which can't even build warships and has to pay a high price to buy them, will certainly not have such advanced technology.
The technology of the mainland's high-pressure water cannon can be said to be unmatched, so in 2022, the mainland will include the high-pressure water cannon in the ranks of "export controlled products".
Although it is not officially possible to find the extent to which the mainland high-pressure water cannon can reach, it can be seen from the regulatory announcement of high-pressure water cannon products.
The announcement stipulates that the range of the water cannon cannot exceed or equal to 100 meters, the water flow cannot be greater than or equal to 540 cubic meters per hour, and finally the rated pressure cannot be greater than or equal to 1.2 megapascals.
Since this is stipulated, it can be proved that the mainland's water cannon technology has far exceeded these figures, and now China's strength is no longer something that anyone can bully if they want to.
The strength of the Chinese Navy
It can be seen from the "List of Modern Military Warships in the World" published on the US military website in 2023 that the mainland's naval strength index ranked second last year, with only a small gap with the US Navy.
You must know that 10 years ago, the mainland's naval strength was not as strong as Japan's, and this kind of development is really amazing, so why can China's naval strength develop so quickly?
In 1986, in the face of the development of high-tech technology in the world and the increasingly fierce competition in the world, the mainland proposed and began to implement the "863 Plan."
The main purpose of this plan is to track the international level in the most important areas of international importance, strive to narrow the gap with other countries, and innovate on this basis.
Since the mainland's accession to the WTO in 2001, China's economy has also developed rapidly, successfully creating conditions for the mainland's scientific research progress.
Finally, the importance of the mainland's development of the navy, the mainland is a "big industrial country", but almost all of the mainland's industrial areas are in cities near the sea, and it is really dangerous to have a navy without a sitting.
As a result, the scientific research personnel of the mainland have been working hard to catch up with the progress of the world, and gradually the distance between the mainland and the world has become smaller and smaller.
The mainland also has the energy to mirror independent innovation, until 2013, China's national defense science and technology development began to "blowout" advancement, more than 10,000 tons of destroyers can also be built by the mainland.
Until 2023, the mainland, plus the ships that have not yet entered service and are being evaluated, will have a total of 425 main combat ships.
Du Wenlong, the most well-known military expert, said that the mainland is currently outstanding in the independent innovation of the national defense and military industry, and the transformation of the navy has also achieved leapfrog development in the process of unbroken transformation and aggregation.
Manta ray-like soft-body submersible
Look at what this thing is, do you think it's some kind of fish you haven't seen before, do you dare to believe that this little thing is an underwater submarine?
This is researched by students of Western University of Technology, the name is imitation manta ray flexible submersible, this is based on the manta ray, it is said that it will be used in underwater warfare, especially anti-submarine warfare in the future.
Because this submersible is really not easily detected, judging from its shape, it is almost indistinguishable from a real manta ray when put into the water.
Let's take a look at the way this submersible swims in the water, and those unmanned suicide submersibles can be spotted by warships on the surface as long as the propeller moves, but this submersible completely imitates the way manta rays march.
And this submersible is deeper than the depth that a submarine can reach, even capable of diving up to 1025 meters, and it also has an ultra-long endurance, which can be maintained for up to 60 days.
According to Du Wenlong, if this submersible is carried out underwater network operations, even the aircraft carrier on the surface may be vulnerable.
I really look forward to the early use of such black technology, so that the mainland's maritime defense capability can really be invulnerable.
summary
Judging from the results of this provocation by the Philippines, China can inflict such great damage on the Philippines by relying only on high-pressure water cannons, and the Philippines should also be able to understand that the gap with the mainland is not half a star.
This also expresses to the Philippines the mainland's determination to defend its territorial integrity, and hopes that the Philippines will stop taking humiliation on itself and continuing to provoke the mainland!
Here, I hope that the strength of the mainland will become stronger and stronger, and that it will be able to surpass the naval strength of the United States at an early date!
