The Bandkanon was a Self-Propelled Artillery Gun developed by Bofors from 1960 to 1965. It was part of a longer Swedish Army project to develop a modern autoloaded SPAG for its forces. The Bkan was based on the S-tank chassis and initially used the powerpack of the A version, which was severely underpowered to drive this 50-ton tank. Because of this, all Bkans were later upgraded to the powerpack of the Strv 103C, giving it the 1C designation.
As the representation of PLAGF transformation from Warsaw Pact caliber to NATO caliber howitzer, the PLZ05 is the earlier variant of its family with basic digitized equipment. The hybrid of Russian carousel autoloader and NATO caliber howitzer is what makes PLZ05 unique among its counterparts; the introduction of this artillery piece also fills a gap in Chinese tech-tree with a long-anticipated SPH equivalent to NATO counterparts.
