PLZ-45

The PLZ-45 is a Chinese self-propelled howitzer, a type of artillery vehicle designed to launch powerful shells over long distances. Mounted on a tracked vehicle similar to a tank, it combines mobility with advanced targeting capabilities, allowing it to quickly move into position, fire accurately, and then reposition. Its main purpose is to support ground troops by providing indirect fire support against enemy positions, fortifications, or concentrations of troops. The PLZ-45 often features modern fire control systems, enabling rapid response and high precision, making it a versatile and effective artillery platform in modern military operations.
