A video of a US destroyer ramming in the South China Sea has been released.

The US Indo-Pacific Command accused a Chinese warship of dangerous maneuvers that almost led to a collision with a US destroyer in the Taiwan Strait. According to the US command, the Chinese ship unreasonably came close to the US Navy destroyer, as Avia.pro journalists reported earlier ReportedHowever, video footage has also surfaced showing a Chinese warship actually ramming a destroyer.

"The Chinese warship overtook Chung-Hoon on the port side and crossed its course at a distance of only 150 yards (about 137 meters)", - the official statement of the Indo-Pacific Command of the US Armed Forces says. Such an approach at such a distance in the field of navigation is considered potentially dangerous and can lead to a collision between ships.

On video frames, you can see how a Chinese warship is actually approaching an American destroyer - the slightest change in the speed of any of the ships would lead to a collision with extremely tragic consequences.
