I did some speculative calculations so bear with me here, Accounting for the perspective difference as well, I used a 1:1 Type 055 model for comparison. I measured the blurry image in my CAD tool to unspecified units of 259.30 and array size of 41.50. Dividing these gives a relative Array size to perspective superstructure beam of 6.248 for the mystery structure. Using my own Type 055 model, I measured the perspective beam as 23.7805m when the array size is 5.9-6.0m, basically size of type 346B radar. The actual beam of the Type 055 is 20m so the perspective scaling at this angle is roughly 1.189x the actual.
Using these assumptions I calculated a few scenarios below, If the radars are sized similar to the Type-346B radars on the 055, the superstructure real width should be around 30m. If the array sizes are not representative of the 346B, and instead the superstructure is equal to that of 055 in size, the array must be around 3.8m in size. Lastly if the superstructure is meant to be frigate sized, I used the beam of the 054A at 16m to calculate the array size of 3.04m.
Be aware that due to the makeshift nature of this "Math" The error could be quite large.
The only conclusions that should be taken here is either damn that is a large superstructure, or damn those are some tiny arrays.
I don't want to be the source of fuel to the China is building a super cruiser folk.
259.30 / 41.50 = **6.248**
23.7805 / 5.94 = 4.003
Real Beam = 20m
**Perspective 1.189x Size**
Mystery Structure if Array = 346B
IF Mystery Array = 346B = ~6m
Perspective Beam = 6 x 6.248 = 37.488m
Real Beam = 31.5m
Mystery Structure = 055 Size Ship
IF Real beam = 20m, ie 055.
Perspective beam = 23.7805m
Array Size = 3.80m
Mystery Structure = 054 Size Ship
IF Real beam = 16m , ie 054
Perspective beam = 19.024m
Array Size = 3.04m
