In this context it certainly refers to the propellant. There is no way you can fit 230 kg of explosive in a 500 kg projectile. For reference, the US Navy's 12" (305 mm) HC shell from WW2 had a 36 kg bursting charge in a 426 kg projectile. You'd have even less volume for explosives if the projectile is saboted. I can see this 300 mm artillery piece being useful for long-range strikes against high-value (including underground) targets, but for saturated artillery bombardments on the front line, you really need the volume of fire that only 122 and 155 mm artillery can deliver.

I would say by the way it's phrased whatever it means it's in the shell. Maybe they count fuel for rocket engine in as well.

If you remember when I mentioned GMRLs being used in an anti shipping role, some TGP footage of just that seems to have recently been released.

Looks like the TGP footage is from the spotting UAV, the rather old and low end BZK-006 pattern drone launched from the truck.

That said the hits seem accurate-ish against a naval target.
I wonder what sort of terminal guidance they have..

The target doesn’t seem to be maneuvering though. I wonder how effective it is against a moving vessel.

Well.. naval vessels don't really "maneuver"... it's more like "listing lazily to the left"

That’s an exaggeration. Even if the vessel moves at a pace of 5 knots an hour it could evade the rockets barring mid course/terminal correction.

These were likely cued and guided by the UAS transmitting aimpoint data over SATCOM. Terminally, BeiDou or laser (both continuously provided by the HAS) is likely.

at this point, is the assumption that all of China's newer ballistic/hypersonic missiles and PCH-191 will have the option of anti-ship seeker?
