re: PLAN Type 052 Class Destroyer

as far as i know, spy-1 radar cant illuminate for standard and sparrow missiles. they work in S band, too imprecise for targeting. that is why Ticos/burkes/kongos/sejong etc have dedicated x band illuminators.

There are then ships like De Zeven class and similar, which instead of S band Spy radars and apg62 x band illuminators use a combination of x band APARs for targeting and illumination and L band long range EW radar.
I think you mean "De Zeven Provinciën":

It's still quipped with gun based CIWS and its new APARs look huge....

@delft
I alawys thought 052C/D class is class is very similar to De Zeven Provinciën class in design thought and layout. both are codag, moderately sized hull. with an intended air defense roll. original type 052 hull was also heavilyinfluenced by euro naval vessel design at that time.
