Chinese 122mm CS/SH1 self-propelled howitzer on a wheeled chassis in Rwanda

On December 11, 2018, the President of Rwanda, Paul Kagame, visited the training center of the Rwandan army in Gabiro, where demonstration artillery units were fired. The photo and video materials provided by the Kagame press service captured the CS / SH1 Chinese 122-mm self-propelled howitzer on a 6x6 wheel chassis fitted with the Rwandan army, which was used by the Rwandan army. Previously, the supply of these systems in Rwanda was not reported, so Rwanda became the second well-known foreign customer for ACS CS / SH1 after Laos.

The CS / SH1 ACS is an export version of the Chinese 122mm ACL PCL-09 manufactured by Norinco Corporation. Currently, PCL-09 SAUs are in large numbers in service with the PLA. The ACS is highly valued for maneuverability and reliability. It is equipped with a semi-automatic charging system, a fire control system including a ballistic computer and a positioning system.

Nice jet.

I was always adamant Russia should have built this for themselves, as apparently design coincides to an apparent MiG that never was.

The MiG-AT has two engines which is pretty much normal for an airforce that does not operate single engine aircraft... except single engined aircraft like turboprop trainers (Yak-152/52) and light transports (An-2).

It would not be hugely different from a single engined Yak-130 to be honest, just based on looks.

Should point out the idea of having a light fighter trainer that can be used as a light fighter/bomber is not very sound.

In theory is kinda makes sense, especially when you see the price of some LIFTs, but all the things that make them so cheap also make them ineffective as combat aircraft... they are designed for peacetime operations...

If putting a big engine and a big radar was all you needed to make a fighter plane then there are much cheaper ways of doing it too...
