This would be ideal. The integrated mast could have an APAR as well as OTHR, with the latter providing long-range surveillance. The APAR can support AAW capabilities via HQ-16 and HQ-9.
What about DK-10 its said to be quad packable and have decent range??
no use, just bigger targets, and requiring more maintenance expenditure. numerous frigates+missile boats+corvettes are enough for area denial, supported by coastal AShM batteries and a dedicated air wing, they are more than enough for area denial
No, equipped with latest weapons and sensors they can be primary area air defence, ASW ships with secondary Anti Ship role.
That is what PN need to protect fleet far from shore.
