This is the moment a Chinese Navy warship crashed into its own coast guard vessel while chasing a Philippine patrol boat in South China Sea. Dramatic footage released by Manila showed a massive Chinese warship bearing the number 164 on its hull smashing into a China Coast Guard ship with a loud crash. More footage and photos released later by the Philippine Coast Guard showed the stricken Chinese vessel still afloat but with its entire bow crumpled inward. It sustained major damage to its hull after crashing into its own coast guard ship. The collision took place near the contested Scarborough Shoal in the disputed South China Sea. Footage before the crash shows the PLA's navy vessel coming dangerously close to the Philippine Coast Guard ship in a show of force.

The warship had planned to ram the Philippine patrol boat and missed?

MANILA, Philippines (AP) — Australia on Friday launched its largest military exercises with Philippine forces, involving more than 3,600 military personnel in live-fire drills, battle maneuvers and a beach assault at a Philippine town facing the disputed South China Sea, where the allies have raised alarm over Beijing’s assertive actions.

The exercises are called Alon, meaning wave in the Philippine language, and will showcase Australia’s firepower. The drills will involve a guided-missile navy destroyer, F/A-18 supersonic fighter jets, a C-130 troop and cargo aircraft, Javelin anti-tank weapons and special forces sniper weapons.

Military officials said defense forces from the United States, Canada, Japan, South Korea, New Zealand and Indonesia will join as observers.

“This exercise reflects Australia’s commitment to working with partners to ensure we maintain a region where state sovereignty is protected, international law is followed and nations can make decisions free from coercion,” Vice Admiral Justin Jones of the Royal Australian Navy said in a statement.
