A Chinese delegation (from Poly Group) presents a model of a stealthy trimaran to the Algerian naval chief. I've never seen this design before.

More information on this trimaran. It's unmanned and features AESA radars and vertically launched short-range air defense missiles. It can also deploy drones from a hangar in the rear.

Hangor is an 039B variant, not 039C. Which has the new sail design.

It was when initial deal was signed in 2015.

According to substantiated reports that PN were keen to bring these subs from B to C standards following the introduction of enhanced C version was one of the factors contributing to the delay (First Sub was suppose receive in 2023), aside from the power plant.

However, any external structural alterations have not yet been visually confirmed.
