"The Pakistan Navy had been operating with 8 to 9 major surface ships which constrained the country’s capacity to increase its regional footprints and influence.
To redress this, a fleet size comprising more than 50 ships was envisioned by the Pakistan Navy. Under this, the Navy has recently acquired new platforms including the MILGEM Class Turkish Corvettes and Chinese 054 A/P frigates.
The recent induction of a new Chinese 054 A/P frigate platform known as Pakistan Navy Ship (PNS) TAIMUR is undoubtedly a milestone for the Navy. PNS TAIMUR is the second ship of its kind built at HZ Shipyard, Shanghai, China.
Two more ships of the same class will be commissioned by the end of next year. PNS TAIMUR is a technologically advanced and highly capable sea asset having hi-tech weapons and sensors, the latest combat management, and an electronic warfare system to fight under a multi-threat environment."
-----------------------------------------------------
Zhang Junshe, a senior research fellow at the Chinese People’s Liberation Army (PLA) Naval Military Studies Research Institute, told the Global Times that the Type 054A, on which the Type 054A/P is based, is China’s most advanced frigate.
The induction of state-of-the-art Type 054 A/P frigates will significantly enhance the Pakistan Navy’s capabilities in strengthening the defense of sea frontiers, said Commodore Rashid Mehmood Sheikh, head of the Pakistan Navy Mission in China, who attended the commissioning ceremony as chief guest."
According to a tweet published by EastPendulum on August 7, 2022, the Chinese PLA Navy has replaced its standard short-range air-defense SAM HQ-7 Naval with the HQ-10 launcher on the Type 54 frigate Ma'anshan.
Type 054 is a class of Chinese multi-role frigates that were commissioned in the People's Liberation Army Navy Surface Force in 2005. They superseded the Type 053H3 frigates.
Only two ships, Ma'anshan (525), and Wenzhou (526) were completed before production switched to the VLS-equipped improved Type 054A frigate.
Type 054 has a stealthy hull design with sloped surfaces, radar absorbent materials, and a reduced superstructure clutter.
The main anti-ship armament was YJ-83 sea-skimming anti-ship cruise missiles in two four-cell launchers. The short-range defense was improved with four AK-630 CIWS turrets. A 100 mm main gun, also based on a French design, was mounted.
Both ships were powered by four CODAD Type 16 PA6 STC marine diesel engines designed by SEMT Pielstick, each generating 6,330 hp. Licenses for the engines were sold to China in April 2002, where they were built by the Shaanxi Diesel Engine Factory. Other reports claimed each ship was powered by two (or four) Type 16 PA STC and two MTU 20V 956TB92 diesels.
About the HQ-7
The HQ-7 (FM-80) is a Chinese short-range low-altitude air defense missile reverse engineered from the French Crotale. The missile is deployed on both ships and land-based vehicles. China revealed the export version, FM-90, in the 1989 Dubai Air Show. Unit cost is around $162,000 per launcher and $24,500 per missile.
About the HQ-10
The HQ-10 is a short-range surface-to-air missile designed by China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation (CASC), currently in service as a point defense missile system aboard PLA Navy warships.
The design of the HQ-10 places it in a similar role to the American Rolling Airframe Missile, both serving as point defense missile systems.
Each HQ-10 missile has a length of around 2 m and a width of around 0.12 m. The missile has a range of 9 km against subsonic targets and 6 km against supersonic targets, and a flight altitude as low as 1.5 meters.
The guidance system is said to be an advanced matrix imaging infrared (IIR) seeker.[3] However, it appears to have a pair of horn-like protrusions at the front of the missile which may indicate the existence of passive radar seekers or semi-active radar seekers.
The launcher is designed to be customizable in terms of the number of missiles carried. Possible different configurations include 8, 15, 18, and 24 missiles, which can be deployed on different warships based on size and suitability. It is claimed that the system can launch missiles in about 10 seconds.

You confused the cost of 052d and 055.
The cost of 052D is 3.4 billion CNY (480 million US dollars).
The cost of 055 is 6 billion CNY (850 million US dollars).
