Self Propelled Gun/Rocket Launcher

The CMSI article was already posted in this thread earlier a couple of pages back, and included some range circles as well in the pdf itself.
Range circles are useful, and both google earth and the mapdevelopers site are useful tools to visualize things, though again the CMSI article's specs for the different rockets/missiles are based on export numbers for most if not all of them, which likely doesn't reflect the PLA versions of the weapons.
I don't see a need to focus in too much detail about the CMSI article's specs based off the export numbers. The important thing is to estimate where the approximate capability/range category of these payloads are likely to be.

General
More images of the PLZ-45A4, showing the ammo stowage areas and vehicle interior. Additional rounds (at least 10 rounds?) are stored in separate compartments in the rear of the turret.
More interior images of the PLZ-45A4, including a look at the driver's compartment (first two images).
this kind of range will require a very high level of joint operations, as the PLAGF may not be able to achieve the full potential of its firepower with just its own UAV. it will have to rely on PLAAF assets for some of its target acquisition.
I think the current target acquisition of the PLAGF's UAVs are in the 600km. So having a 500km TBM option make senses
