I can't see the pics.
But the DDG launched last week is type 052C. Almost the same as 170 and 171. A little disppointed.

There must be reasons why they keep the same configurations as 170 and 171, proably PLAN is happy with the type's performance thus far.

Further we don't even know what changes they have done inside the ship. There may be upgrades on power plant, software and degree of automation etc. Time will tell.

People say it's an improved version called a Type 052C+. This would make the new designation Type 052D.
