China presents SH-15 self-propelled howitzer WDS 2024

At the World Defense Show 2024, the Chinese industrial group North Industries Group Corporation Limited (Norinco) showcased its SH-15 self-propelled wheeled howitzer, a 155 mm/52 caliber artillery piece based on a Shaanxi 6x6 truck. This artillery system, aimed at both the Chinese domestic market and for export, has been designed to meet modern battlefield requirements for mobility and precision. [...]

First introduced in China in 2017 and publicly unveiled in 2018, the SH-15, also referred to as PCL-181 within the Chinese army, replaces the older PL-66 howitzers. The SH-15 utilizes technological advancements to ensure compatibility with a wide range of ammunition, including precision-guided munitions developed by Norinco, such as the GP155 or GP1, as well as all standard 155 mm NATO ammunition. Capable of both direct and indirect firing, the SH-15 can achieve a maximum range of 53 km with rocket-assisted projectiles.
