Artillery truck mounted? Not self-propelled. Not towed.

First paragraph from an Strategy Page article as extracted without shame.

"ARTILLERY: France Seeks Survivable Artillery"

From https://www.strategypage.com and thanks to same.

"July 9, 2024: The fighting in Ukraine made it clear that the French concept of mounting 155mm guns on a truck to rapidly fire a few rounds, then move to avoid return (counterbattery) fire was not only unique but very effective. So far, only ten percent of these truck-mounted guns have been destroyed in Ukraine compared to a third of the conventional 155mm guns carried in an armored, tracked vehicle. The getaway speed of the truck-mounted systems made the difference and other countries are taking note"
