may be that they are all a good target with one missile, to many ships at one place.
is a war imminent? otherwise its fine, everyone does it, us/china/britian etc.

Friends Chinese Navy have decommissioned few of it's older Type 051 D guided missile Destroyer and they are in far better shape than what we got from USA Decommissioned Oliver Hazard Guided missile frigates
Our navy needs bigger ships for better long range vertical launched surface to air missile for over the horizon protection for our navy
Why can't we get atleast two of them or one and upgrade them to use atleast for next 20 years these can be easily modified to HQ 16 because those already have Russian S 300 on them in their vls and better Anti ship hypersonicmissiles can be used on them like YJ 21 for countering INS Vikrant im sure china will be more than happy to give them to us than scraping or we can get them very cheaply because china needs it's allies in region to back them in warzone if needed so they will try toarm us in what ever better way as they are giving us SLC 18 for indian satellite tracking radars
Yes but 051 G is more upgraded than C and they can have helicopter hanger too and if Pak get they can integrate ha 17While I cannot understand the video language, the title suggests he is referring to two early destroyers (Type 051G) decommissioned in 2020. These basically have no real air defence capabilities to speak of, and little capabilities in general - not even a helicopter hangar. If you are referring to these ships, they certainly don't have the S-300 onboard. There's no capability-minded reasons for Pakistan to buy them, especially as metal fatigue will already be high given how long they have been around.
The only Chinese destroyers using the S-300FM are the two Type 051C ships, and these still have a fair deal of service life left, being commissioned in the early 2000s. They could well be sold to friendly countries before retiring from PLAN, however. There's no evidence they can use the YJ-21, and I don't believe they can. The modern PLAN destroyers that can use the YJ-21 have deeper VLS cells, compared to other PLAN and even western destroyers.
It's not exactly only PN that has berthed in this manner. Here's Royal Navy Corvettes seen together.

I was so confused when i actually saw SSM (Surface to Surface Missiles) on Zarrar Class at #IDEAS22 Pakistan Navy Expo. They have actually fixed 30mm Auto Naval Gun along with a missile launch platform and some side MGs. This is the most loaded coastal patrol vessel ever..
