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.
