The Philippine ship 3014 was directly hit by a water cannon, and many decorative materials inside the cabin were washed away. The air conditioning units outside the cabin were also damaged. However, the Philippine coast guard ships also use Gree air conditioners.
From the photos released by the Philippines, the water cannon is indeed powerful. The metal air conditioning outdoor units were deformed, with the outer shells twisted into a spiral. There are also photos of Philippine crew members being injured, but they are not published because of fear of not passing the review. In fact, before August, China's coast guard water cannons were basically for warning shots, not direct attacks. However, after August, the intensity of China's interception increased. To put it simply, within the scope of the coast guard's responsibilities, we try to eliminate the threats of the other party as much as possible. From Figure 4, it can be seen that there is a lot of water inside the 3014, and high-pressure water from the water cannon directly hits the bridge, causing a large amount of seawater to enter the cabin.
