Upgraded version of Type 052D DDGThe Type 052D has currently 12 ships being commissioned, and 1 nearly commissioned, and 2 improved variants under the sea trial.
BTW, the English Wiki page for the Type 052D has been messed up by some trolls, and the Chinese Wiki page is being more accurate.
The 20th Type 052D shall be commissioned before the end of 2021.
For purchase price of the Type 055 for the PLAN is around $900 million, then the Type 052D should cost probably less than half.
As I said before, a friendly price of $500-600 million per ship if China really wants to export the Type 052D variant.
The first two Type 052C can be retrofit if possible.
