Total requirment is 106, But probably will raise with hundreds duo to replacing the outdated ones.

It will be heaviest artillery piece we can carry with an S70

It's sad really, I'd expect an equivalent of M777, at least something close. But i guess titanium is too expensive for us :/

Well this is just the first prototype, Perhaps the second one will look more awesome then this simple design...
