I agree. The Type 054A is 4,000+ tons, it's a large ship. We can further optimize its use of space to add much more capability than currently present. If there's one system I'd try pursuing, it'd be the Russian Redut (9M96E2), a long-range SAM (100~120 km range). That or take delivery of the 054A/P without any subsystems and weapons, but in turn, look to customize them with Turkish, European, etc systems.
And you also have to consider new AESA radars like Type 346A...It would be a completely new design at that moment.I really hope the Type 54 we are getting is bigger and has those VLS which TYPE 52 D has to carry cruise Missiles.

In fact, Type 054A and Type 056/A are PLAN's low-cost warships for mass production.The reasons PN went for Type 54A with minimal customization is very competitive price and swift delivery. If PN asked for major changes both of these points will not hold. But Pakistan needs these capabilities yesterday or last decades to stop constant threat of naval blockade by hostile neighbour. After Gwadar development with CPEC and Belt & Road Initiative as well as countering indo-pacific strategy by hostile powers PN can not wait any more. I hope PN should go for at least 4 Type 52 D for air defence role immediately after first of those type 54A are on way to deliver and later compliment them with another 4 Type 54A or advanced models.
IMO with 8 frigates,8subs 2 OPVs PN,S hands are full at the moment. New acquisitions maybe will be made after 2025.The reasons PN went for Type 54A with minimal customization is very competitive price and swift delivery.

Agreed, but it is a good sub hunter and an adequate air defense frigate. It is exponentially better than anything PN has or can get at thos time with respect to air defense unless thdy get CAMM-ER for Jinnah. Its would be significantly better with a better missile and an integrated mast with AESA radar (of note from what i understand the 054A/P will have a rotating AESA Air search radar). As i said above, the 70km HQ-16B would be good for it but Redut or CAMM-ER would make it a beast.In fact, Type 054A and Type 056/A are PLAN's low-cost warships for mass production.
Type 054A is not a good choice for air defense.
Shipyard name?Posted on SDF .... Probable signs of the first Type 054A/P for Pakistan...
