A copy of the M119 howitzer apparently showed up at Zhuhai.

lynx with 40mm telescoping ammo. apparently the video was shown at Zhuhai.
Nice... the telescopic ammo seems to be all the rage these days and promises an evolutionary step up in lethality.
Terran you know anymore about these types of ammo?

Interesting I found this on Quora maybe Terrain can explain it better
How do telescoping and caseless ammunitions work? Why do the gasses not just go around the bullet and out the barrel?
This question previously had details. They are now in a comment.

Understand that the chamber diameter and the barrel diameter are not the same.
In either configuration the bullet will move forward into the barrel when fired, forming a tight seal similar to any other modern bullet as it engages the rifling. There will be some gas escaping around the side, but only as the bullet moves the few centimeters it needs to pass the forcing cone into the barrel. Most of the gas will be trapped behind it.
The tech is not new, its essentially the same as whats used for a shotgun shell.
Telescoped ammunition
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Telescoped ammunition is an design in which the projectile is partially or completely enveloped by the propellant. Examples include ammunition for both hand weapons and artillery. Some telescoped ammunition is also .
Telescoped ammunition has advantages in comparison with traditional ammunition . Telescoped ammunition cartridges can have reduced overall length with similar ballistics to a comparable mass traditional round. Also, telescopic cartridges may avoid the risk of damage to the projectile during the loading process.
Cased telescoped ammunition for the has reached . In August 2013, was awarded a $US2.05 million contract to continue developing parts of the US LSAT program. Part of the contract is to further refine 5.56mm cased telescoped ammunition, and develop 7.62mm cased telescoped cartridges.

An additional set of the QN-202 photos...
I’m not sure if anyone else has already pointed this out, but one of the most noticeable things for me with the 202 is that it has no optic.
Yes, it has an eyepiece, but that has no lense in front, with the front apparently not even having an opening.
Looks to me like they are lowering the cost and weight by having the launcher take its sight picture direct from the missile seeker. So the eyepiece would just link to a cheap LCD screen that mirrors what the missile seeker is seeing.
This way you don’t need an optic or even targeting computer on the launcher.
If the missile seeker can see the target and has tone on target, you press the trigger and job done.
The only concern might be battery life on the missile if they do not fire it for prolonged periods.
But hopefully they just added a simple battery compartment somewhere on the launcher, with the missile programmed to used the launcher’s battery only before it is fired.

the only thing I know about caseless ammo was with the cancelled G11 rifle made by H@K back in the 90s I think. I think the engineering was too hard, primarily to mitigate and dissipate the heat. Caseless ammom sounds really good on paper and under very control conditions but in real life it's nor practical. Perhaps they have overcome the engineering barrier.

Not sure if this has been posted here before, but this is the TN-2 SR SAM:

Besides the LW-30, two additional laser systems have been unveiled: the CY-10 and the SD-10A.
CY-10:
The placard indicates that this is for explosive ordnance disposal.
The SD-10A is apparently an anti-drone laser that can also be used to drive away birds from airports in civilian areas. It can also be used for "anti-reconnaissance" as per the developer, suggesting that it also has a role in disabling enemy optics and similar sensors.
