The model that illustration was based on turns out to differ from the real ship in some details. Recently a video of the ship was released showing that the arment forward of the bridge consisted of two manned 20mm light AAA, one each side – um, hardly high tech lol. In the video the 76mm main gun has yet to be fitted and we don’t get o see the rear of the ship.

The video does show what looks like a fire-control set mounted atop the bridge though. The type looks very similar to that mounted on the Thondor class boats which, if I recall it right, is a Chinese Type 341 set. That is a set commonly used for gun direction…the Thondor using it to direct the AK-230 mount.

A fire control set like a 341 obviously is not there to serve a pair of manually laid light guns so it does lend credibility to the fact that something heavier is still to be fitted!.
