PCL-181
The PCL-181 is a vehicle-mounted 155 mm gun-howitzer used by the Chinese People's Liberation Army.[1] It replaced the 152 mm PL-66 towed gun-howitzer and the 130 mm Type 59-1 towed field guns used by the PLA and will complement the PLZ-05, and improve upon its functionality in many ways. Due to its comparatively lighter weight, the PCL-181 can also be transported in a Shaanxi Y-9.[1] It is equipped with an automatic fire control system.[1]
The PCL-181 made its first public appearance during the Chinese National Day Parade on 1 October 2019.[2]
