A few days ago, the Philippines dispatched a fleet of two coast guard ships, one official ship and one transport ship to forcibly enter Ren'ai Jiao and deliver construction materials to the Philippines **, which was illegally beached, despite China's stern warnings. The Chinese Coast Guard resolutely opened fire and fired water cannons to control Philippine vessels.
This time, the Philippine side has finally seen the tremendous power of China's water cannons
Water cannon, as the name suggests, is a kind of ** that uses water as a cannonball. It squirts water out at high pressure, and its power is staggering!
The power of a water cannon depends mainly on the pressure and speed of the water flow. In general, the higher the pressure and speed of the water flow, the more powerful the water cannon will be.
The power of the water cannon has a certain flexibility, and the operator can control the effect of the water cannon by adjusting the pressure, speed and flow rate. In addition, the spraying method of water cannon is not single, including direct current spray, atomization spray and strafing spray.
The strike range of the water cannon is between a few meters and tens of meters, and it can produce up to hundreds of thousands of joules of energy per second. If a person is directly hit by such a current, then he will be slammed into it as if he were being struck by a car moving at high speed.
The PSKD series electric fire water cannon equipped with the China Coast Guard ship has a rated working pressure of 10MPa, the firing range reaches 50 meters, the flow rate is 40L s.
It is precisely because of the realization of the great power and role of water cannons that China officially listed water cannons as export controlled products in December last year.
Although water cannons cannot be compared with real cannons, we can still effectively respond and control them through water cannons when dealing with some provocations.
For example, three of the four ships sent by the Philippines were "attacked" by the Chinese Coast Guard's water cannons, namely the "Kabra", the "Kalayaan" and the "Yunaza May" 1.
It has been learned that after the three ships were attacked by Chinese water cannons, they were all damaged to varying degrees, the ship's radar, communication antenna, and other equipment were damaged, and the engine of the "Kalayaan" completely lost power, making the ship unable to move, and finally it could only be dragged back to the port of Palawan in the Philippines by other ships.
After being attacked by Chinese water cannons, the angry "Yunaza May" 1 even directly rammed into our coast guard vessel, resulting in a ship scraping incident, and the responsibility lies entirely with the Philippine side.
The Chinese Coast Guard's on-site enforcement and control of Philippine vessels has been very effective in deterring Filipino fishermen. Originally, a Philippine supply fleet of 40 fishing boats had set off "mightily", preparing to force their way into Ren'ai Jiao to deliver supplies to the beached **. However, after seeing the Philippine boat being hit by the Chinese coast guard's water cannon at Ren'ai Jiao, 10 Philippine fishing boats have "escaped" and turned around and returned to the Philippines.
The Philippines is just an island country in the Pacific Ocean with an underdeveloped economy, but its repeated provocations in the South China Sea are tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg.
In recent years, China has not only built a number of new coast guard ships, but the Chinese navy has handed over a full 22 Type 056 light missile frigates to the coast guard, giving the Chinese coast guard the ability to use its firepower advantage in close confrontations.
At present, the tonnage of China's coast guard ships is often thousands of tons, and even equipped with 5,000-ton and 10,000-ton coast guard ships, these ships are generally equipped with 30 mm naval guns and 76 mm naval guns, as well as the ship's *** has a strong fire suppression capability, which is more than enough to deal with the small ships in the Philippines.
What's more, at Mischief Reef, which is about 40 kilometers away from Ren'ai Reef, a number of Chinese destroyers and landing ships, including 052D, are docked in the harbor, ready to respond to emergencies at any time. The Chinese Coast Guard drove away the illegal intruder on the Philippine vessel
