Is the interior of the howitzer air-conditioned ?
Not sure the SAF one but PLA one got. However, if you know the artillery business, no aircon in the world is enough to cool down the heat from howitzers, it is hell hot! Can BBQ meat for sure. I was once near a battery of howitzers when they had a barrage. 20+m away, not only the shockwave crushing my chest and brains, also the heat on my face and my #4 uniform sweat was baking dry! Barrels got a gun flash for short duration only, but the radiation heat still sustain longer than the brilliance air was heated, gun smoke smell was stinking and cause eyes unable to open, fucking dirt and dust flying and long time to settle down. KNN!
I was fucking sure that the whole areas's insects are wiped out near the fire base. Some blasts! Never think the fucking aircon will ever cool that heat off. BTW, those howitzers I was near, were not those tank mounted ones, they got wheels to be towed by 12 toners.
