If I were the PN, I would go with better radars, which is not uncommon with the export versions, like the last two Bangladesh Type 056 corvettes have.
For example, I would fit the SR2410C in place of the Type 382.
I would put this phase array on the second mast at the funnel where the Type 364 usually is. This radar has been associated with the LY-80N which is the export HHQ-16. This is similar to the land based radars used for the HQ-16, and which Pakistan has acquired. Using this would be more familiar with the Pakistanis.
Calling the guidance radar L-band is writer's error. Its a certainty its an X-band, or I band in the old NATO classification system.
Export LY-80s feature rear TVC controls, and those spokes on the tail might be for mid phase control of the missile.
One question is whether the PN should use a naval version of the Sky Dragon 50, aka SD-50, given that they are already SD-10 users.
Can this be quad packed on a H/AJK-16 VLS? If not, dual packed? Or best used with the U-VLS in quad packed fashion?
Surely the PN must want to get the most out of their money from these ships. Having an SD-50/DK-10 on these ships, would significantly transform the combat value you get out of 32 VLS cells. Plus the fact that the missiles are active guided, they are not limited by your illumination systems, only by the number of datalink channels you for the missiles, allowing for a high number of simultaneous engagement. It would work well with the radars above, as the land based SD-50 is meant to work with the support radars for the LY-80 like the IBIS-150 and the IBIS-200.
