I need help to identify this piece of SP-artillery from the Eritrean army.

Could it be of Chinese or North-Korean design?

I still can't see em' (perhaps there's something wrong with my browser despite the fact that the page informs me that "I don't have permission to view this page") but I would speculate that it's a Gvozdika since that's certainly one of the SP-artillery vehicles that Eritrea has.

I dont think it is a 2S1 Gvozdika.

A 2S1 has 7 roadwheels on each side. The Eritrean one seems to have 5 roadwheels....

It looks like it's based on the Soviet AT-T prime mover (http://morozov.com.ua/eng/body/traktors/at-tbas.php?menu=traktors.php) chassis.

You should ask Baron Harkonnen, he's the guru of SovBloc armored vehicles around here.

I moved the pics to photobucket. Hope you can see them now…….

@Lazarou.
The AT-T Prime mover chassis could definitely be the one used here.

Looks similar to the Indian 'Catapult', a M-46 mounted on a Vijayanta/Centurion chassis.
