It is not a double barreled launcher. The caption read, DF-11 missile transporting truck, holding 2 missiles.

This is a missile transport truck, not sure if it can directly resupply an TEL vehcile though.

Si3N4 Silicon Nitrite ceremic armor. Used for armored vhecile protection layer.

At least that is what that translate inot.

AAM, TAKE TAIWAN WITH OUR MISSILES, Cruise missile

What kind of aircraft is that? That wing is way too low to be JH-7 or any member of the Flanker family. It seems even lower than the FC-1. For the life of me, I can't think of anything else in the PLA inventory that would have a wing tip launch rail. And that uniform is from at the latest early 80s. Furthermore, those missiles are early production PL-2s. I don't know how long the PLA kept the original PL-2s around, but this picture could very well have been taken back in the mid 70s or earlier. I also looked up the old J-12, but it doesn't look like it had any tip rail. Any thoughts?

I think the answer to your question lies in the background... you see that plane? I think it's probably a trainer JJ-5?

It actually looks more like a JJ-6, but that's neither here nor there since, AFAIK, J/J-5/6 have no wing tip launch rail.

Maybe a J-13 prototype or mock-up?

The cancelled J-12 didn't have wing-tip pylons:
