The first ship of the class was completed in 2013 and the second one in 2014. The vessels are fitted with 4x C-802 anti-ship missiles from China and a Russian AK630 with a stealth cupola (these weapon mounts could be produced in China too).

Two quad anti-aircraft guns (which appear to be based on the Russian ZU-23 or Chinese Type 85) are fitted at the rear of the main bridge.

Several sensors are fitted on top of the bridge including a Furuno navigation radar, an air surveillance radar, a surface search radar, a fire control radar (for the CIWS gun) and at the top end of a mast what looks like an ESM system. Two boxes of an unknown decoy system seems to be fitted on top of the bridge.
