The AH-4 seems similar to the BAE M777 or Indian MArG(titanium version). There doesn't seem to be much difference in rate of fire range, or caliber. All are also equally mobile, so how much the gun costs is the only relevant factor. The Kalyani Ultra-Light Howitzer 155/39 also called MArG(Mountain Artillery Gun) is touted as indigenous option of famous America M777 artillery gun. Weighing less than 4.5t, the gun can be air lifted via Chinook and can be transported to inaccessible terrains. Kalyani Group has developed two versions of this gun. The all-titanium version of ULH weighs 4.8 tonnes and all-steel version of ULH which weighs 6.8-tonne. The advantage of Titanium being lightweight comes with the difficulty of maintenance. Steel is more malleable, easy to maintain, and of course cheap. A third variant of this gun is developed on the feedback from late CDS General Bipin Rawat. This was all-steel ULH mounted on an Ashok Leyland Mk.4 general utility truck for mobility in the mountainous terrain. MArG is the only artillery gun in its category that can be mounted on 4X4 wheeled platform. The ULH has a range of 22.4km with an unassisted artillery and 30km with an assisted artillery shell similar to that of M777. It has 2 modes of firing. In intense mode the gun can fire, 4 rounds per minute for 3mins. In sustained mode it can fire 1 or 2 rounds per minute and only limited by the tube temperature. The gun can be quickly brought into action in less than 3minutes and required a crew of 5 to operate. In this three way Mexican standoff, the side that can mass produce artillery at the lowest cost will win.

As the AH4 designation indicates, this is an _export-only_ item and there is no question it was designed by NORICNO purely to steal sales away from the M777, or be sold to clients where M777 is not on the menu. The Chinese are all to often accused of shameless copying even when they don't, but this one was deliberate.

@@MFitz12 M777 is a British product made by BAE. USA has nothing to do with it. Next I don't see how making stuff out of titanium or howitzers is not an existing idea. Blutnly speaking there is zero overlap of any actual tech between the two howitzers they don't use similar components.

@@datoolz0 - M777 was designed by the old Royal Ordnance Factory, later purchased by BAe. Which is what I said. It's British _designed_ Final assembly is done in Mississippi so USA has something to do with it. Secondly, do you have a concept of the word concept?
