Are the 052D participating in the recent Chinese SCS live Ammo drill? And what about the China-Russia SCS training? Are they in or not?

I understand if they are not include the 052D in China - Russia Training; but feel weird if they don't include the 052D in the massive training exercise that they conclude recently.

They probably will because the exercise will be in SCS at Sepetember. One of the irritations (from interviews) was that Russian planning dominated previous bilateral exercises with anti-ship emphasis, using PLAN Sovs in conjunction with their own fleet. 052C with solid AAW capabilities was left without spotlight.

With 4 052Ds in the SSF the PLAN could bargain for more air defence scenarios in the next exercise.

The protruding sonar dome cannot be installed before launching if the warship slips backwards into water on a ramp. No such problem by drydock building, but the ship has to be supported much higher from the bottom of the drydock to make room for the sonar dome.

This videos supposedly shows for the a very low-altitude interception by a HHQ-9 SAM. It'll be great if some uploaded it to YouTube.

So then when/how do they add it on, at another facility?

They can also install them in the water.
This has been done before in various navies.
Sonar domes are filled with water when in use.
You can also drypump them with pumps onboard.
Only thing needed are divers and 1 overhead crane or 2 seperate.
If its a smaller dome (frigate) one crane can do to.
