Might have missed it in previous discussions, but it seems the Type 054A/Ps lack the large VDS apature on the latest PLAN 054A batches?

Yes it seems so. The remaining port openings should be for the TAS and towed torpedo decoy.

Despite being small, the SR2410C radar fits well with the aesthetic of the ship, I must say.

Handing over a coast guard patrol craft ordered by Pakistan.

Another 054A/P has officially been handed over to the Pakistani navy.

An export 054A/P for Pakistan.

I think the 054A/AP would look cooler if they combined both the SR2410C radar and the AESA illuminators in one ship.

Is this new illuminator required by the latest HQ-16?

It should be more of the other way around.

Did China provide soft loan to Pakistan for this purchase? or a barter?
