There were some reports emerging, of Type-052E Class Destroyers being designed, which shall commence production once the Type-052D Class Destroyer production is completed. Which raises the question, as to how many Type-052Ds are planned and what is Type-052Es role be. Would it be similar to the role Type-052Ds play? Would the perform parallel roles, but 052Es would have additional, or new weapons tech they would bring to the battlefield?

How true is this and could any Chinese or Pakistani members (following PLAN) comment on this, please.

My question is why a 052E is necessary when there is the 055. Wouldnt making a new class of 052 destroyers be costly and resource extensive? Especially since the 052 series is no longer the premier destroyer fleet in the PLAN.
