Page "Gerald Bull" Paragraph 37

Bull also continued working with the GC-45 design, and soon secured work with The People's Republic of China, and then Iraq.

He designed two artillery pieces for the Iraqis: the 155 mm Al-Majnoonan, an updated version of the G5, and a similar set of adaptations applied to the 203 mm US M110 howitzer to produce the 210 mm Al-Fao with a maximum range of without base bleed.

Although it appears the Al-Fao was not put into production, the Al-Majnoonan started replacing Soviet designs as quickly as they could be delivered.

When deliveries could not be made quickly enough, additional barrels were delivered from South Africa.

The guns were built and sold through Austria.
