Is it not a bit awkward having the hanger for the Type 052C on the left hand side must make helo opps a bit difficult glad they made the hanger in the middle on the Type 052D
I am sure the Type 055 will have a dual hanger because when that helo comes to land you have lost the ASW for that time with two helos you can maintain the ASW screen from the helos

What's the purpose of the net under the helicopter?
There are less operational Sovs left in Russian Navy than in Chinese. The backbone is 1155 Udaloy class and not Sovs.
Actually, I believe there are four active Sovs in the Russian Navy currently...the same number as in the PLAN. They are:
715 Bystryy Pacific Fleet
620 Bespokoynyy Baltic Fleet
610 Nastoychivyy Baltic Fleet
434 Admiral Ushakov Northern Fleet
In addition, they have four others in reserve:
720 Boevoy
778 Burnyy
754 Bezboyaznennyy
406 Gremyashchiy
As you say, the Udaloys are the principle DDGs, with eight active vessels (one of them the Udaloy II, 650, Admiral Chabanenko) and only one other in reserve.
052C and 054A, I knew it!
The PLAN has the largest total tonnage besides the US in this exercise due to the supply ship and the hospital ship.
