I have read that the Panzerhaubitze can make 5 shells land on a target simoultaniously by first firing at a high trajectory the lowering it (x) amout of degrees for every shot thereafter. Imagine the Russians utilizing that strategy with this gun! 10 shell on target at the same time!!! OH the humanity!

The Paladin can do the same, I have seen it done. It just takes a good FDC to figure out the calculus of it and a well-trained gun crew to get the rounds off at the right time.

Also, everything I have seen on this new Russian system is that it was only experimental and only a couple were built. It will not be going into production or use by the Russian army. It really wasn't an advantage over a singly-barrel system either since you had to wait for the first gun to stop moving in recoil and hull shake to fire the second gun accurately.

They say the replacement for the Paladin should be able to fire 10 rounds per minute and put most if not all on target at the same time. The russian one would make a great model though The US one will be kinda boring with mostly lightweight build and rubber tracks. Is it just me or does the Russian one look like a giant paintball gun?

The NLOS-C is the only new SP Howitzer under development. It may or may not replace the Paladin. It really isn't that big of an improvement over it in range nor accuracy. It does have an autoloader and the crew stays inside the hull though, the verdict is still out whether those are improvements or not. It is the only part of teh Future Combat System (FCS) that is currently being funded and built. It will most likely augment towed arty since it is specifically designed to be C-130 transportable, more fuel effecient and carry its own ammo so it doesn't require a long supply train.

We shall see.
