The deal took ages because unlike previous military sales where Ukraine just sold on Soviet era equipment this time they had to manufacture these vessels
There was much doubt that Ukraine might not be able to full fill this order especially after the crane accident where a workers was killed, but Ukraine did not let this project slip and they did deliver the craft to China, they will also deliver the second one too
What happens after that? Well either Ukraine will make more or China will make the rest, I don't know the status of Chinas manufacturing of this craft but I think Ukraine has put so much effort into this plant they might end up building the rest for China, and it might even end up being cheaper for China too as building a facility for two units might not be that economically viable
however I think China might just end up buying two of these, induct them trial them see how they get along and of they are really very pleased they might add more, but that would be a few years away, in a few years will PLAN still have a need for Zubr? Hard to see it will, but certainly in the meantime it's great to see Ukraine selling two units to PLAN which will be a great asset
Fact remains, China also stuck to the deal and never withdrew so it must be something China really wants
