How does that vessel compare to the equivalents available from the US, UK, etc?

It’s a missile boat so it’s at the lower end of the spectrum regarding range or sensors compared to the vessels built in the UK or US (which more or less doesn’t build such ships any more.

In terms of armament, it’s probably the most heavily armed class of warship in the world per displacement tonne. It carries up to 14 anti-ship missiles and 32 short range SAMs. Not too bad for a ship which displaces less than 500 tonnes!!
