The Type 054A also uses the hot launch VLS, but not as advanced as that of the Type 052D.
The Type 052D's versatile VLS is as advanced the MK-57, but even bigger with more missile packed capability.
The Type 054A's hot launch VLS is as advanced the MK-41, but smaller because the frigate has limited size to host the larger VLS.
And the SAM used by the Type 054A is the HQ-16 series. The range of this SAM varied from 25 to 75km, but I heard that the new version AKA the HQ-16Z has been improved to 150km or even more, which could be used to replace the HHQ-9 in the near future.
well i would prefer destroyers to be specially made to stop Flankers , short range sam's like we have in F-22p are not much enough to do the job ..
PN is also guided missile destroyers . if we can get from China on 10 year lease that would be great ..
