I haven't heard of any export orders.

The biggest one of the trio, probably the most usable one for the PLAN and the one that interests me the most, is still smaller than the Yuan there. But it likely points to where the next PLAN SSK design would be, except that I suppose the sail will be like the 039C/A26 style intended to reduce radar reflection, instead of the 039B style sail above, and along with more angled surfaces on the shoulder sections for lower radar reflection.

At around 60 meters, the biggest of the three would compare to the length of the Walrus class (67 meters), the Type 214 (65 meters) and is longer than the Type 212 (56 meters). The beam is 5.8 meters with a depth of 6.8 meters, vs. Walrus (8.4, 6.6), vs. Type 214 (6.3, 6), and Type 212 (6.8, 6.4).

If the measurements we have seen are correct then the new sub is closest to the S600 in size.

In terms of size, my estimate is ~45m though, assuming the man is between 1,75-1,8m tall. So its size is definitely closer to the middle one of the trio, but its sail and front stabilizer arrangement follow the smallest design's.

You can expect anything shown in a defense expo to be conceptual and still subject to adjustment and refinement.

URWS-1 stealth unmanned turret, first shown at Zhuhai. The turret has an RCS of approximately 0.1 square meter. It can autonomously search, detect, and track targets. It can be remotely controlled from platforms other than the one it's mounted on. For example, an operator many miles away can remotely fire the gun.

Looks like it can be concealed behind the cover.
