Do you notice one thing that the truck should have very low cross country ability. So I thing the system is not designed for battle field service.

You brought up a very good point. Looking at the initials of the Licence Plate which reads "军C" or "Military C" indicates the vhecile belongs to the General Logistics Department. However, since the licence plate is on the truck and not the trailer, it could mean that the cab belongs to the General Logistics Department.

twin barrels and camouflage seems a bit implausible for the cloud seeding suggestion, but as pointed out the trailer doesn't have much combat suitability given the tactical nature of such short-barrelled guns. Weird.

First - this vehicle belongs to the ROC military, you can easily tell by the camo.

Second - i am convinced it is Tien Kung 3 TEL (basically a Taiwanese patriot) without missile containers. The things you have probably confused for barrels may be some sort of auxiliary hydraulics.

That actually makes a lot of sense.

Look at the hydrallic stabilizers in the back and the large rectangular openings on the side.

It's a Bofors 120 mm mortar. This weapon can fire guided top attack anti-tank munitions, specialized ASW rounds and anything in between. When mounted on a landing craft ( the one photo is of a modified Swedish landing craft ) you have a superbly mobile and powerful artillery piece, very useful in the corrugated coastline of some place like Sweden.
