wel it looks quite capable atleast on paper. i hope it is able to perfor to its potential in real practise. as far as paper specs are concerned it is great with some stealth features, C803 anti-ship missiles! goal-keeper equivalent gataling gun, 76mm main gun with good rate of fire, Z9 chopper onboard for ASW role, anti-air missiles couples with the CIWS! fine enough radars and control systems!!
i guess it will be a nice induction!!

I visited the wiki page on the F-22P. It looks like a very capable warship atleast on paper. But I have a question regarding the specs given on wiki
F-22P
Displacement: 2500 tons
Length: 111.7 m
Beam: 12.4m

The F-22p is classfied as a 'Frigate' by the PN

Now look at the specs of the P-28 corvettes of the IN under construction.(First delivery in 2012...last in 2014)

Displacement: 2500tons
Length: 109.1m
beam: 13.7m

These are classified as Corvettes by the IN

Does the PN follow a different naming convention or are the specs given on wiki wrong?

Both are 'light' frigates. F22P has a stronger ASuW orientation, while P28 is more oriented towards ASW (it lacks AShM! But it could be accompanied by e.g. Kora/Kukri class, which are strong in ASuW but lacking in ASW/AAW.).

yes, the exact specs on such systems onboard is not know and it may never be,
but such specifications are not made public by any other country for any other ship either! so there is not a big deal in PN and chines keeping them secret!
