Has this thing seen service?

That's not field gun, THIS is a field gun (not really, cause it's rail mount)

Pretty obviously an redesigned version of their Nona 120mm SP mortar system. It fires a copy of the French 120mm rifled round and its max range is achieved using rocket-assisted projectiles.

No clue in that article about whether the system uses advanced fire control, or what aiming system it uses, or crew size or how many rounds it carries.

We need better spies.
