On January 21, 2023, the Ethiopian military high-profile display of the SH-15 155mm self-propelled truck gun imported from China. The Ethiopian military received 32 Chinese-made SH-15 155mm self-propelled truck guns from January 17 to January 18, and Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy personally took over the new Chinese-made equipment. "Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed Ali highlighted the ongoing modernization of the Ethiopian army," Ethiopian said. The Ethiopian Prime Minister and the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces highlighted the efforts to modernize the Air Force and Mechanized Forces, as well as to strengthen capabilities with modern weapons. 32 Chinese-made SH-15 155mm self-propelled truck guns on public display at an Ethiopian air base. According to the Ethiopian side: "This air base in Ethiopia played a key role during the Tigray war, receiving more than 100 cargo flights from the UAE and Iran in 2021." "In 2019, the Chinese-made SH-15 found its first foreign customer, and Pakistan ordered 236 SH-15 155mm self-propelled truck guns for about $2.1 million each. The range of the Chinese 155-mm truck gun is 20-25 km, the rate of fire is 4-6 rounds per minute. The total weight of each vehicle is about 22 tons, and a Chinese Air Force Y-20A transport aircraft can only carry up to two SH-15 155mm truck guns at a time. At the same time, the Ethiopian side said: "The Ethiopian Air Force is undergoing a new round of reform. "This cannon really made a fortune silently, silently selling about 200 guns, and the number is still rising. If there is no supporting system, ordinary truck guns simply cannot be stopped and played. But Ethiopia is different, the Ethiopian air force and army, a large number of equipped with Chinese-made UAVs, under the guidance of Chinese UAVs, Chinese-made truck guns can be completely hit and go! Chinese-made armed drones turned the tide of war in 2021: In the Ethiopian civil war, when the Tigray armed group invaded the suburbs of Addis Ababa, the Chinese-made Wing Loong-2 Chada integrated armed drone carried out a "dimensionality reduction strike" on the mechanized convoy of the Tigray armed group, blowing up hundreds of mechanized equipment of the Tigray armed group. Since then, the Tigray armed group has lost the opportunity and ability to capture Addis Ababa, and finally the Tigray armed group agreed to reconcile and achieve peace in Ethiopia. Just imagine, if the Russian army had purchased hundreds of Chinese reconnaissance and combat integrated armed drones before the start of the war, why would the war be fought so hard.
