These ships are fast glass canons, like an assassin build. Their protection is their speed and stealth and their hulls shouldn't be more than 2-3 mm thick. Their sides in the first photo look like that due to the metal getting warped by heat during welding.

I am not just talking about this ship I have seen Turkish ada class Chinese type 54a with similar problems
All ships have the "wrinkles"
They are stress areas where the hull flexes and buckles the most while navigating, so they are required to be thinner. If they were thicker and stiffer, the hull would crack. And in the case of the taller areas of the super structure is to prevent the ships from getting top heavy.

Modern warships aren't armoured at all, that includes western ships. They won't stop a bullet and they aren't meant to. Navies went away from putting armour on warships because it simply doesn't make a difference, nothing will halt an aerial bomb or anti-ship missile.
