What is/wrong with that? Bhai a cheap platform is a good work horse, economical to maintain and run for day to day tasks and good enough to defend itself against a few targets. China will run a flotilla so fleet wide defence will become the responsibility of the destroyers. Capability is only installed in ships as it becomes available. Till then you make do with what you have. As more capabilities come online quadpacked missiles they will be incorporated along with upgrade to the FCRs.

Nothing wrong with Cheap, but the point I was trying to make is that what really needs to be clarified is that although the platform is cheap, its performance is NOT cheap, and it is capable of dealing with same scenarios as other expensive platforms, since expensive platforms are simply overpriced due to expensive labor costs in Western countries. When an engineering firm charges $300 to $400 an hour in US to make a ship compared to China where a firm charges $50 to $100 an hour, then it does not mean a ship building in China somehow cannot perform or compete.
