Disregard; that's a whole new scope on that mast and the attack scope is on a new fairing!

AHA! @ 1:16 the video shows two masts up, search scope and comms, and then another scope is raised. I knew there had to be two; gotta update! Link: www.youtube.com/watch?v=kJKR...

After looking at the pictures, it appears that the most forward tube on each side is staggered, not side by side. This would also help understand the door to door spacing on each side not being closer. Here is what my crude top down estimate is for the configuration.

New photos means updated sketches... and an attempt to figure out those masts @saturnax1.bsky.social Presumed port side shows hatches/hinges; so 10 tubes in total?

25.12.2025 02:59 — 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0I would say it looks most like a Type 039 that's been stretched and a missile compartment shoved in
