They are also acquiring 8-12 of these from the Russians, with the possibility of a license build:

They are also building these in numbers:

...and they have built about 15 of these vessels in various variants:

They have been, in addition to their major combatants and amphibious assault, also been concentrating on buuilding more , much more modern and capable logistical support vessels over the last eight years.

As I said, it is a phenominal and impressive across the board buildup and their shipbuilding capacity continues to grow. IMHO, we must take it seriously and find a way to respond.
