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.

Correct me if I'm wrong, is this ship upgrade on the ship deliver to China or this ship just complete it 1st production in China shipyard?

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.
