Soviet ZIL-135 launcher vehicle
A mobile launcher vehicle is a type of military vehicle on a multi-wheel-drive or crawler-tread chassis carrying one or more ground-to-ground or ground-to-air explosive missiles, along with the personnel and equipment needed to prepare, organize, and execute a launch of such missiles.
Purpose of mobility:
- going to a suitable launch location
- being less easy to locate by the enemy, hence less vulnerable
Examples
- Soviet/Russian ZIL-135
- Soviet/Russian RT-2UTTH Topol M
- American MGR-1 Honest John

- Transporter erector launcher, including those used in conjunction with SCUD missiles
