Have you heard that there has been another accident in the South China Sea recently? That's right, it's that Scarborough Shoal, the Philippines did some kind of "sailing race", but it was stopped by our coast guard boat. As soon as this happened, there was another frying pot on the Internet, and there were all kinds of voices, but I think we have to talk about the story behind this, after all, this matter is not simple.
First of all, let's talk about the Philippine operation. They organized more than 100 small fishing boats, saying that they were going to compete near Scarborough Shoal, which sounded quite casual, but who didn't know that this was a drunkard's intention to drink.
However, our side is not vegetarian, and we got the information in advance, the coast guard ship "3502" with a group of brother ships in place, and the drones also went to the sky, so that the Philippine fleet can be seen clearly.
As a result, the ship on the Philippine side dispersed before it could reach the place, and the play ended before it even began.
Speaking of which, I have to mention our coast guard ship "3502", which is a big guy, 5,000 tons, compared with those small fishing boats in the Philippines, it is simply the difference between adults and children.
That's not all, our coast guard fleet still has 3,000-ton brother ships, and the Philippine fleet has to beat drums in their hearts when they see this situation.
In 1997, the Philippine Navy went to Scarborough Shoal and blew up our sovereignty monument, which was quite a big fuss at that time. Later, they also seized our fishing boats and fishermen, and the matter has not stopped. It wasn't until 2012 that we began to tighten our grip on Scarborough Shoal, and the situation slowly stabilized.
Speaking of control, we have to mention our coast guard ships. Since 2012, our coast guard ships have been patrolling Scarborough Shoal, which has become commonplace.
This is not a simple patrol, this is to protect our maritime rights and interests. Moreover, this patrol is not empty-handed, there are real guys on our coast guard ship, this is not a joke.
Let's talk about the H-6K, this is a big killer. In 2016, the H-6K cruised over Scarborough Shoal, which was big news. The H-6K is our long-range bomber, and it can perform missions so far away in the South China Sea, what does this mean? It shows that our military strength has reached a new level.
Moreover, the emergence of the H-6K has also made other countries' actions in the South China Sea a lot more restrained.
However, this H-6K is not all smooth sailing either. When it first entered service, it was actually quite embarrassing, because at that time there were not so many things on the South China Sea side, and the H-6K was of little use.
However, with the tension in the South China Sea, the importance of the H-6K has become prominent. In particular, the YJ-6 missile mounted on the H-6K is a big killer weapon and poses a great threat to sea targets.
Speaking of which, let's take a look at the Philippines. In fact, this is not the first time that they have engaged in a "sailing race". They've done something similar before, but they've never succeeded each time.
Why? Because their boat is nothing compared to our coast guard ship. Moreover, the organization of their fleet on their side was not strict enough, and it dispersed before it reached the place, which can be imagined.
However, we should not take this lightly. Although the Philippine operation was not successful this time, their actions were quite frequent.
We have to be vigilant at all times and not give them any chance. Moreover, the situation in the South China Sea is still quite complicated, and we need to have enough patience and wisdom to deal with these problems.
