That impressive China took less than 2 yrs to build this ship after Ukraine deliver the first 2 ships to China, took Ukraine 4 yrs to build the other 2 and China less than a yr to complete their 1st one.

This variant (Z-18FQ?) carries a large surface search radar under its nose and the FLIR/TV turret was relocated to the starboard side. The helicopter also has large pylons installed for carrying large AShMs (e.g. YJ-83K). Dozens of small openings are positioned along its rear loading ramp which could be used to release sonobuoys.
