Self-explanatory.

Possible new ammo for PCL-191, the diameter seems massive.

That looks consistent with the 750mm ballistic missile.

We've previously had pics of a missile with similar characteristics being launched but the launch platform obscured by smoke, however at the time it was pretty likely to be PCH-191, given launch angle, missile appearance, and known PLA launch platforms that could accommodate those characteristics.

This is just some further indication/confirmation that PCH-191 can carry the 750mm ballistic missile (two per vehicle)

Export version (AR3) with two 750mm missile canisters mounted, on display, below.
It should be noted the missile launched from the PLA pics seem a bit longer than the FD480 offered for export, so in theory it's possible it is a missile with a greater length keeping same diameter, or same length but smaller diameter, but I'm calling it as 750mm generic for now because AR3 has only been shown for export with the 750mm missile as the next step up beyond the 370mm rocket (I consider it unlikely that they would give PCH-191 a larger single tube ballistic missile for example)

Seems like it reflects a changing doctrine. PZ-05 is perfectly suitable for a defensive war if the mainland is threatened, where as PCL-181 with its much greater air mobility is used in an offensive war.
Should be other way around. pcl is suitable defending china with good road. Plz is for invading places with bad road, like Russia, India, etc.
