An unknown type radar has installed. Rumors to be type 383 X-band AESA similar to SPQ-9B.

It look more similar to Saab Sea Giraffe 1X AESA radar, more focus to short range Surface surveillance.

Interesting ship. How many does China plan to build. And which aircraft they plan to fly on these LHDs? Looking at this, it would have been great with our harrier jets. :D
On a serious does China have any plans of building a vertical take off and landing aircraft in future? Something like the F-35B which we play a significant part in for example.

China doesn't have stretched-out military deployment. It is China's tradition to concentrate as much as power for each case. Therefore, whenever LHDs are deployed, it is very likely that their air is covered by aircraft carriers. Hence, the need of having its own air cover via vertical take-off aircrafts is lower.

when it comes to Chinese military procurement, nobody really knows what is the total number that the PLA intends to have of any particular weapon, the only thing we know is that there will be a minimum of 6 type 075 that will be built, after that it is any body's guess, they could make do with just 6 or heck the PLA might like it so much they would say "ok let's have 12 more type 075 for a total of 18", personaly I think they will make do with 9.
they are building two simultaneously & it takes them 1 year to finish so ships will be launched at an average rate of 2 per year.
