That looks like quite a short barrel. I wonder why they've not gone for something with longer range.On the occasion of Vietnam’s 80th National Day, the nation’s top weapons manufacturer introduced a newly developed self-propelled artillery platform equipped with an armored cabin.

I wonder what the cannon is. Vietnam has shown off multiple SP artillery systems before that consisted of an old gun stuck on a new chassis. I suspect, despite the modern-looking armored chassis, that this is more of the same.
EDIT: Another look at the video and the armoring on the truck cabin looks kind of like some of the up-armor kits Russia has been using on their Kamaz trucks in Ukraine. While I doubt it's an export, maybe there's some involvement in the development or sale of tech?
EDIT2: It's a D-20, also known as the 2S3 in self-propelled format. According to this the truck armor is original, which might be true, I don't know.

Vietnam has weapon systems in service older then my parents, so this isn't that surprising. D-20s are a decent older howitzer. They've been around for ages, they're pretty sturdy, and there's a plethora of ammo for them. They're not a modern weapon system by any reasonable standard, but that's obviously not what Vietnam is going for with these conversions. The intent appears to be to get the most out of their older kit.

We mounted outdated howitzers onto trucks to improve mobility and reduce the number of personnel required for operation. The reality of the war in Ukraine has shown that even obsolete artillery with limited range can still inflict damage on the enemy when guided by drones. The cabin of the Kamaz truck assembled in Vietnam is armored and equipped with a remotely controlled 12.7mm weapon system, which enhances the survival chances of the operating crew.

The M-46/Type 59-1 will be mounted on 8x8 trucks but will only be deployed to coastal defense artillery units

The Russian influence clearly shown on both design, but it is expected as Russian armoured is what they are familiar with. The X prefix shown both type begin as Experiment Prototypes. However as Vietnam already shown them on parade, I suspect both will be inducted to their reguler production line.

Fun fact, the 130mm M-46 has longer range then some newer systems, making it potentially more relevant. We see Russia using M-46s, D-74s, and more and more Giatsint cannons for the same reason.
Cheap way to prolong and maximise what they have. But this addresses the mobility issue only, not the accuracy (which requires ballistic computer/fire-control system, INS/GNSS) or RoF (which requires auto/semi-auto loader). I think the accuracy part might be more practical (available off-the-shelft) than trying to design an autoloader.

Do we know they don't have a Krasnopol' equivalent option for the 130mm caliber? Vietnam has been showing off many copies/adaptations of Russian/Soviet tech lately. It shouldn't be that hard to take that solution and apply it here.

This is indeed a copy of the 2S1 Gvozdika, remarkable that Vietnam is so late with copying a design from the '70s. Vietnam has also the 2S3-Akatsiya in service, i wonder if they plan to reverse engineer and copy that one.Điểm đặc biệt của pháo tự hành PTH-01 do Việt Nam sản xuất mới lộ diện

Vietnam Army shown their latest indigenous anti tank system replacing RPG-7. Basically it is tandem warhead system, and build specifically to counter Active Defense system in latest tank.
The system will launch two warhead, where first one as decoy to attract the active system intercept it. 0.15 second later the live warhead launch to use the time gap between active system launch intercept to the decoy and before it can send new ones to intercept second main warhead.
