The Bangladesh Army is set to acquire NORINCO's SH-15 155mm wheeled self-propelled howitzers as part of its post-2024 modernisation drive. A delegation led by Maj Gen Mohammad Moazzem Hossain (GOC, 7th Infantry Division) will visit China on 25 May to witness live-fire trials.
Already in service with Pakistan, the SH-15 offers long-range precision fire (up to 53 km with ER rounds), rapid mobility via a 6×6 high-mobility truck, and is fully air-transportable. It features an automatic fire control system and can fire 4–6 rounds per minute.
This marks a significant step in the Army’s efforts to boost its rapid deployment and mobile firepower capabilities.
