So, according to the manufacturers of the A300 & AR3, the PLA is indeed purchasing them. A photo of a SR-5 in service was also posted but later lost.

I was just thinking about railguns and also long range artillery rounds like the Vulcano.

Is there anything publicly available on Chinese developments?

We've seen artillery being placed on cargo ships before, and a cheap long-range round with 80-100km range be very useful indeed in all sorts of scenarios.

Is the range of the PHL-03s 70km, 90km, or 150km? I have read conflicting reports on range.

　Rocket: The PHL03 is equipped with a various types of shells. The maximum range of its basic rocket shell is 70 kilometers while the minimum range is 20 kilometers. The salvo time is 38 seconds and the refill time is 20 minutes.

　　Meanwhile, improved rocket shells were also developed with the maximum range of 150 kilometers. Thus, its long-range strike capability has been further enhanced.

In other words, it depends on the round the PHL03 uses.

If you think about it, this differing range depending on type of rocket makes sense.

Sina says the same. However, I don't how widely fielded the 150km range versions are, but seems like the original 70km range shells fell 20km short of the Russian Smerch, which has a range of 90km.

China develops new wheeled self-propelled assault gun

China is developing a new wheeled self-propelled assault gun based o 8×8 chassis. The demonstrator of new self-propelled assault gun was spotted during the transportation.

The main role of this fire support vehicle is to support infantry with its firepower. It can engage enemy armor, buildings, field fortifications and other targets. Sometimes such vehicles are classified as assault guns or tank destroyers.

According to open sources, the new Chinese wheeled self-propelled assault gun is armed with a new 125mm cannon. This multipurpose cannon reportedly has a muzzle velocity of 2,000m per second for armored piercing fin stabilized discarding sabot (APFSDS) rounds.

This multipurpose cannon reportedly has a muzzle velocity of 2,000m per second for armored piercing fin stabilized discarding sabot (APFSDS) rounds, whose discarding sabot concentrates the kinetic energy from propellant into frontal area of the penetrator rod, which is the size of a half dollar coin.
