Hello. Can someone help me distinguishing what are those things; I've been wondering about their utility since I recognized they were on every major surface combatant classes from Type 51B, Type 054A, etc and now Type 052C/D.IMG_20190217_150657.jpg IMG_20190217_150908.jpg
Type 051B wiki is speaking about OFD-630 "optronic directors". Can someone confirm me if it's the true name of such equipments ?

My bad then. Thanks you @Paulo R Siqueira. Such a large mystery for... some lights !

Now does someone know if the type 52D has the so-called OFD-360 optronic directors ? I heard they were changed by simple cameras.

If they kept those 16 anti shippers of the type 052B in the type 052C, that would've made a hell of a pounder.

Well not quite. YJ-83 is roughly half the weight, and roughly half the range of a YJ-62 in the 052C. In another analogy, YJ-83 is comparable to the Harpoon, Exocet and Russian Switchblade or Uran ASM. YJ-62 however, is more comparable to the anti ship Tomahawk (TASM).
