NORINCO SELF-PROPELLED GUN

The 155/45 Norinco Self-Propelled Gun is a Chinese self-propelled gun armed with a 155 mm WAC-21 gun. A 525 hp diesel engine provides a top speed of 56 kmh and a range of 450 km. The 155/45 Norinco Self-Propelled Gun fires NATO ammunition, which the Chinese don't use, leading many experts to speculate that the weapon was developed for export, and there are rumours of a Middle eastern country purchasing them.
