I think Type-54A will be a welcome addition and it will keep coming. I expect at least 4 boats eventually.

@MastanKhan surface elements coming up.

I hope it is not 54a vanilla version

Something is better then nothing. Even export version possibly better then what it's going to replace.

Should really be 4 Units of 054A level , as we have overlooked this area for quite sometime.
It is merely filing a known void we had not necessarily an expansion.

Every Navy in Asia have 15-20 such large ships while we are may be getting our first of this category
Certainly would be a welcomed news

However untill the contract is signed too early to celebrate

Ideally the 4 Units should be on soft lease from China with 30-40 year flexible pay back model

IMHO the Type 054As are clearly going to be command ships ... one for the 4 F-22P, and one for the 4 MILGEM Ada during wartime and one for reserve and/or guiding the Swift Corvette and Damen OPV in policing the EEZ and SLOC during peacetime. While not as well-equipped as I would have liked (e.g. no OTHR or APAR like the proposed CSOC designs), the standard-fare AAW (with HHQ-16) will still provide an umbrella to each of those other ships (which would, at best, have PDMS). @Gryphon

Good news.just buy a submarine from France.chinese submarines will arrive in 2022.it will be very late.

PN is going in the right direction. 1 is confirmed. 2 more would be signed too in future. 1 or 2 more might be further added after first 3.

With Chinese subs, Ada corvettes and others ships in pipeline PN is definitely improving itself very fast

slow and steady wins. I guess this is best for PN. 1 at a time I am sure the end result would be at least 4 and max 6

i hope its is vanilla version so PN can customise it.

Chinese TYPE 054A Offers the central strength we need for a solid defensive posture

Reasonable approach
We do need something reasonable as below for minimum deterrance

Plus support from 2 squadron of JF17 Marine 2 Seater would be fantastic setup

What about the Perry Class frigate?
