     "notes": "The PLL-01 howitzer is fitted with auxiliary power unit which is a small air-cooled 77 hp diesel engine. It is installed in a fairing carried atop the front of the carriage. The power unit is used for self-movement once the howitzer is in position. It also assists emplacement and displacement of the howitzer. This feature significantly reduced the stress on the crew. A single crew member can jack the gun in 90 seconds. Also it takes slightly less time to emplace and displace, compared to conventional towed artillery pieces. \nThe PLL-01 uses Extended Range, Full Bore (ERFB) ammunition, which has a much longer range than typical howitzer ammunition thanks to improved aerodynamics. The PLL-01 can also fire all standard NATO 155 mm ammunition.",

     "notes": "The AH-1/AH-1A Chinese 155mm Towed Artillery is a variant of the PLL-01 Chinese 155mm Towed Artillery that is equipped with a APU. The APU provides limited self-propulsion to move into or out of the firing position and enables powered deployment in the firing position. The difference between the AH1 and the AH1A is a conventional screw breechblock on the AH1 and a laterally sliding wedge breech block on the AH1A.",

notes"AH-1 is an improved version of the PLL-01, manufactured in China by NORINCO. It has a more powerful auxiliary power unit, consisting of an air-cooled diesel engine, developing 110 hp. This howitzer has a maximum auto-propulsion speed of 20 km/h. Reportedly, the AH1 is in service with Ethiopia."
name"AH-2"
notes"AH2 is a 52-caliber version of the AH1 towed howitzer. It has a longer range."
name"GM-45"
notes"Same cannon fit onto a lighter carriage. This allows the system to be easier to maneuver but provides less stability to the system."
