After the Dutch warship illegally entered the Paracel Islands, China swiftly deployed five H-6 bombers, delivering a lesson to the U.S. military as well!

On May 27, the Dutch Navy's frigate "De Ruyter" illegally entered the Paracel Islands, repeatedly launching helicopter operations from its deck and intruding into Chinese airspace. Previously, a U.S. Navy supply ship and Coast Guard units had been active in the Subic Bay area, while Vietnamese coast guard vessels deliberately approached Zhongjian Island.

On May 28, five H-6 bombers took off from an air base in Guangxi, heading toward the Paracel Islands.

Three military forces were nearly simultaneously active in the Paracel Islands and surrounding areas within 24 hours—this was no coincidence.

China pointed out that the Dutch actions “easily risk misunderstanding and miscalculation.” This statement was not directed solely at the Netherlands—it was meant for all the “masterminds” behind the scenes.

The Dutch frigate “De Ruyter” also fired a Tomahawk missile test off the U.S. East Coast in 2025. The level of coordination between this vessel and the U.S. military far exceeds that of typical NATO allies.

On May 28, five H-6 bombers launched from a base in Guangxi. A formation of five aircraft operating together sends a clear signal of realistic combat readiness. One H-6K bomber can carry multiple YJ-12 supersonic anti-ship missiles. These missiles reach speeds exceeding 3 Mach at their terminal phase—making them nearly impossible to intercept by U.S. naval air defense systems.

The combined missile firepower carried by these five bombers could theoretically destroy an entire U.S. aircraft carrier strike group.

The “De Ruyter” frigate displaces about 6,000 tons, making it relatively large among frigates—but when compared to a full carrier battle group, it is entirely on a different scale. Five H-6 bombers are more than sufficient to counter a carrier group; using them to respond to the Dutch Navy sends an unmistakable message: you are simply not a match. China has the capability to eliminate every target in this maritime region.
