If that post on douyin is real tho, just by comparing barrel lengths, we see a L/52 like on the PLZ-05 mounted and not a L/39 like on the SH-11.



For example, the bore evacuator one the new wheeled type is before the thing that fixes the gun while driving (Verzurrung/Rohrzurrung in German, can't get hold of the english term), just like the PLZ-05.


While on SH-11 it is behind that thing.


Also of course the barrel hangs more over the front hull in the new type.

So a lot more range if true
The correct English term for your German description would be "Barrel travelling lock"

No. It's a horrible design, significantly reduce the size of warhead.
By reusing otherwise scrapped cluster munition rocket, ability to loiter, 360 deg coverage, 150km range in a 227mm package, CEP of few meters and still enough to kill HVAs. I wouldnt call it horrible. Norinco however does shown small cruise missile/ loitering munition fired from SR-5 MLRS.

The main disadvantage is, why not use aircraft to drop it? This design removes the advantage of guided rocket. And rocket booster is more expensive than the mission cost of jet fighter.

300mm rockets in service with troops in Tibet. Four rockets per box (not five), two boxes per vehicle, for a total of eight rockets per vehicle. Note the middle 'tube' is not a functional launch tube.

The middle tube's lid looks wobbly like its made of rubber
