The type 052C 'aegis' destroyer appears to mount a phased-array radar system similar to the U.S SPY-1D. it is not known if this system uses russian X Band or a western style bandwidth. it is believed that the technology for this system was aquired through intelligence means. in other words, they stole it using spies. likely from the Japanese would be my personal guess.

this destroyer will also mount VLS HQ-9 SAM missiles, similar to the Russian land based S-300 (SA-10b Grumble) but reportedly using stolen US patriot technology for the guidance system.

The type 094 SSBN will carry 16 JL-2 missiles. the JL-2 SLBM will have a range of roughly 8,000 km, allowing the continental US to be targeted while operating within chinese waters.

hope this helps
