New artillery system will have to fire projectiles with a muzzle velocity of 2200 m/s, while its dispersal promotes explosive evaporation of the metal, which occurs under the influence of currents of great strength. The firing range will be about 100 km, and with powerful kinetic energy cannon can destroy any flying object or even average the ship.

Presumably, the new system will be based on a chassis similar to that on which the Russian complexes "Topol-M". Given the relative compactness of the plant - like systems in the U.S. are mounted on ships - the Chinese had to sacrifice the caliber of the gun.
