203mm self-propelled gun
It was reported in 1995 that a program to develop 203mm self-propelled howitzer had been in progress for several years, with a prototype tested in 1995. The system is based on a Chinese copy of the M107/M110 chassis with a domestic 203mm gun and lifting mechanism. The weapon can fire standard NATO 203mm ammunition types, along with an extended range full-bore base-hollow high-explosive (ERFBHB HE) projectile with a range of 24 miles, and a base-bleed (ERFBBB HE) projectile with a range of over 30 miles. It is claimed to be compatible with submunition projectiles, such as anti-tank mines and terminally guided, nuclear, biological or chemical warheads. As of 1999 there was no indication that this project had moved beyond the prototype stage.
