Yes, but looking at the hull section it’s a 052, not a 055, right? That’s obvious from the image, isn’t it?
EDIT: ok maybe not fully certain as Tam said. It just looks like it to my eye.

Algeria. Contract for 3 type 052D is expected to be signed before the end of 2022.

Your kidding me ?
Great. 3 more bricks in the A2AD wall of the African Mediterranean. France is going to shit un epu.
It's no more than a rumor.
And this cannot explain what the photo showed in the JNCX shipyard. There was already some part of a new vessel.
A lot of things started as rumours. If you don't need answers, stop asking questions.
Your answer is defnitely nonsence. If China is to sell three type 052Ds to Algeria 'before the end of 2022', how can JNCX start building the ship NOW?
Actually I believe this is also rumours, but I think that ship might be for Nigeria.
I am sorry, the link I posted is not creditable so take it with a huge pinch of salt.
I answered the question which country could buy an export 052D. Never claimed that ship spotted at JNCX is for export.
If we are talking about rumors and their veracity, then I can share with you a story that PN is considering or in negotiations with the Chinese for 04 DDGs, of which one is presently going through the MLU program (052Bs), and the other is slated for MLU in the very near future (051Cs).
Would anyone believe it, and it comes from the same source who announced the induction of the 054A in the PN when the 054As had just begun?
The notion is that everything began as rumors before becoming reality, often without fully maturing.
