The F-22P uses the Chinese development of Russian AK-176M 76.2 mm as its main gun. instead of the Chinese 100 mm counterpart. The main difference between the original Russian gun and its Chinese development is that the latter adopts a stealthy turret. Physically, the F-22P has a stealthier platform as it uses many of the Type 054 frigate's Radar Cross Sectional (RCS) reduction concepts. The high rate of fire of the main gun also provides a secondary defense against antiship missiles.

Look at the attatchment.
