SAAB family affair.

Saab 340 AEW, Gripen and the RTN Naresuan. The Naresuan is a rare Chinese-Western hybrid, an export Type 053H3 that is converted completely to American and Swedish electronics and weaponry. It uses a Saab Sea Vixen radar, Harpoons and an 8 cell set of Mk. 41 VLS. Just in case if you don't know a VLS can be fitted in that ship.

Type 053/H3 "521" and "522" being refitted to be transferred to the Bangladesh Navy. Would explain the picture above.

These are the two oldest Type 053H3 in PLAN service. Bangladesh Navy already got two Type053H2 in 2014 so they should have less operational and maintenance issues when putting successors into service.

Tongling, no. 542, being decommissioned and refitted, to be donated to Cambodia. She is the last of the Type 053H2. ......

it seems that it is no longer destined to Cambodia, but from the pennant number P-625 should go to Sri Lanka, the number P-625 continues the numbering adopted by the navy of Colombo for its naval units of higher tonnage.
can someone confirm?
