Question, The most recent 052D Has an exposed two-faced rotating phased array radar at the mast top. Is that radar related to the rotating two Faced face array, radar used in 054B?
052C/052D Class Destroyers

Do you have a photo or video of this?
Newer 052D‘s masthead 2 faced rotating phased array on the left, 054B’s masthead 2 faced array on the right.
No. They work complementary to each other.
The radar on the mast head of the 052D is actually also on the 054B but it's hidden underneath the cone where the second mast is where a large ESM antenna on top.
The bigger radar is for air volume search and track, used to direct the main SAMs in. The smaller radar is used to queue the HHQ-10s and Type 1130 towards multiple low flying sea skimming targets.
You also find this small dual faced radar on the Type 075 where it first appeared.
052DG DDG #175 Weinan shot down a target drone with her Type 1130 CIWS during a naval exercise. Another 052D/DG DDG is sailing behind her.
