judging by the design of the boiler, the Vietnamese armed forces planned to adapt an anti-aircraft gun to combat terrestrial targets. Two-wheeled boat features better mobility and smaller dimensions compared to four-wheeled AP-57 fauthes.
Anti-aircraft artillery complexes C-60 were supplied for the needs of the Army of Northern Vietnam during the Vietnamese War. Some amounts of guns, the development of which began in the 1940s is still used by Vietnamese military.
The choice of the boiler from the M101 is due to the large number of Gaubits, which remained in Vietnam after the war. So, only in 1975, the Army of Northern Vietnam captured about 1000 Gaubitz M101.
