Availability rate of truck mounted gun much less compared to towed artillery.
Towed artillery can fire much more rounds than truck mounted gun before they have to be put in maintenance.
For maintenance truck mounted gun one needs more complicated and specialized facility than towed artillery.
ATAGS also have more range.
Finally we come to cost. One can buy around 2-3 ATAGS in cost of one truck mounted gun.
Don't know for sure but I ATAGS has more automation compared to truck mounted gun.
Bullshit , automation level can be same , and about maintenance ,no it don't require frequent maintenance than a towed one , but cost is high due to cost of maintenance of the mounting platform , it moves faster ,is better for shoot and scoot operations, have faster response time . Not much difference in availability rate , and availability rate favours mounted system

ATAGS does nave a mechanical arm based auto-loader which the truck mounted gun lacks.

As for maintenance after x rounds which is less compared to towed artillery one has to put the entire system under maintenance due to mechanical (vibration and recoil) stress on the system.

Towed artillery like ATAGS can fire much more rounds than truck mounted gun before they have to be put in maintenance.
For maintenance truck mounted gun one needs more complicated and specialized facility than towed artillery.
ATAGS also have more range by around 10-15 km with current generation of ammunition.
Finally we come to cost. One can buy around 2-3 ATAGS in cost of one truck mounted gun.

You still need to tow the artillery gun so you have to factor in the cost of the truck to tow the gun.

True, but this can be done by any general purpose truck (provided it has be rated) to tow such guns. While for truck mounted gun you need specialized vehicle.
Such trucks are available in mass in IA.
Almost all trucks rated at or above Medium 6x6 high mobility truck can tow such a guns.

Gives a good idea of context behind this conflict . Talks about hypocricy of global powers .



Also mentions at some point Delhi had come close to airlifting a cache of sophisticated weapons, but the war had plunged Armenia into such disarray that the administration in Yerevan, operating without a command structure, was unable to figure out how to receive the material .
