It's definitely photoshopped. There is no way they could build up the superstructure so fast, not to mention having the mast-mounted radar already installed.

I have a feeling that these are photos taken from the same facility of an 2015 photo, only from different angles. Compare the red circles.This might be of some relevance. The image shows an onshore test facility where a gas turbine is coupled to a 21MW medium voltage generator.
Something about it definitely doesn't look right.
I'm not sure how much of it is doctored and/or if any of it is just an optic illusion.

If the radar in question is indeed destined for 054B, I wonder which design we'll end up getting.
In the first image below, the top illustration shows the old design, the bottom illustration shows the revised design after applying the golden ratio:

Wow this is one of the most BS papers I’ve ever seen for Chinese mil-tech research. They published a paper justifying the aesthetics of the mast? That’s just raw stupid.This might be of some relevance here. An on re-designing the appearance of a certain mast mounted rotating radar by applying the . I don't have access to the full paper, so screen captures will have to suffice for now.
