This machine has some modern day use specifically with low flying slow drones in today’s modern battlefield. This thing can do some serious damage in the sky. 🌌

I would really like to see you give a report on the T-54M

This thing is a riddle to me. An AA gun that can only reach to about 9,800 feet will only protect against ground attack aircraft at low altitudes and fighters that get careless and fly too low. It might work okay as part of a combined air defense, but I can't see China making too many of these (mainly for coastal defense). The chassis is the Chinese derivative of the T-54A, which is serviceable enough for a lightly armored AA gun. Perhaps, if it mounted a better gun, it would make more sense to me. There are other uses for such a platform I won't discuss here.
Ah... production ceased shortly after development. Silly me, here I thought this was something new the Chinese had put together. Must've missed something in the first viewing of the video.

Pioneering,... but it didn't actually work.
