Front view, indeed an uncommon concept, hope they can convince somebody to buy it.

This is just the sort of thing to peddle to tinpot dictators sitting on copper mines, even the horrid digital camouflage is done to impress them.

That self propelled howitzer seems have a longer barrel than usual. Any idea of what is the length of the gun? I assume it is using 155mm rounds as usual.

I believe it's actually a naval gun, so coastal defence I guess?

The only comparable system in the market:
The purpose should be similar: Point defence against air, rocket/artillery and surface targets.

I am guessing it could also do well against any sort of assault ops. It could search, fire on and demolish anything from cruise missiles, guided bombs, helicopters laden with troops trying to disembark them, attack helicopters that managed to get too close, amphibious combat vehicles of any kind, conventional landing craft, hovercraft etc etc. The 76mm caliber does seem like a sweet spot in that regard.

There are a few other systems to they just tend to be smaller calibre and with smaller radars.

Basically it's the turret off a naval destroyer on a stretched wheeled vehicle.

It's a revolver gun design, tho. Higher firing rate than the PJ-26.
