VIDEO: Chinese Navy Warship SAVES a Philippine Coast Guard Vessel By Accident
So here’s something you don’t hear every day: a Chinese Navy warship accidentally saving a Philippine Coast Guard vessel—by crashing into its own coast guard ship.
It happened near Scarborough Shoal, just 10.5 nautical miles from the reef that’s been a flashpoint for maritime tensions. On August 11, the BRP Suluan, a Philippine Coast Guard ship, was being chased by a China Coast Guard vessel. Things got intense. The Chinese ship was closing in fast, and in a twist no one saw coming, it ended up colliding—not with the BRP Suluan—but with a Chinese Navy warship that was also in the area.
The result? A huge dent on the Chinese Coast Guard ship’s bow. The Philippine vessel? Unscathed. And in a strange way, saved by the very navy that’s supposed to be backing up the chase.
Caught on Camera
The Philippine Coast Guard released footage showing the moments before and after the collision. It’s not dramatic in the Hollywood sense, but it’s telling. You see the tension, the proximity, and then the impact. Commodore Jay Tarriela, the PCG’s spokesperson, even expressed concern for the Chinese crew who might’ve been injured. That’s a level of professionalism that’s hard to ignore.
