Le ZIL-135 est un grand camion de transport militaire à huit roues et d’artillerie automoteur produit pendant la guerre froide par l’Union soviétique à partir de 1959. Son but était de transporter et de lancer un missile d’artillerie, en particulier un FROG-7, de surface en surface. Le ZIL-135 a été largement exporté vers d’autres pays communistes, notamment la Corée du Nord, où il est un spectacle commun dans les films et les marches militaires. Il a également servi de TEL pour le système de roquettes d’artillerie BM-27 Uragan.

General Characteristics and Role
The ZIL-135 is a Soviet/Russian high-mobility, eight-wheeled (8×8) military truck developed by the Likhaev Automobile Plant (ZIL). Designed specifically to carry heavy loads and traverse extremely difficult terrain, it became famous primarily as the transporter and launcher for the BM-27 Uragan and BM-30 Smerch multiple rocket launcher systems (MRLS). Its unusual and highly capable design featured a long, flat cargo area, a distinctive forward-control cab, and a unique engine and transmission setup for optimal off-road performance. It was a staple of Soviet and later Russian missile artillery forces for decades.

- Driven Axles: All 8 wheels are driven (8×8).
- Steering: Only the front two axles and the rear two axles are steerable, allowing for a tight turning radius despite the vehicle’s length. The two central axles are fixed.
- Maximum Speed: 65 km/h (40 mph) on road.
- Operational Range: 500 km (310 mi).
Military Systems and Variants
- Primary Role: Transporter/Launcher for MRLS, including:
- BM-27 Uragan (Hurricane) 220 mm MRLS.
- BM-30 Smerch (Tornado) 300 mm MRLS.
- Missile Transport: Also used as the mobile chassis for the Luna-M (Frog-7) tactical ballistic missile system.
- Tire System: Equipped with a Central Tire Inflation System (CTIS), allowing the driver to adjust tire pressure for optimal traction on different surfaces.
- Variantes:
- ZIL-135E: Prototype featuring electrical transmission (electric motors in the hubs).
- ZIL-135K: Prototype for missile transport (never mass-produced).
- ZIL-135LM: Mass-produced model with manual transmission (most common version).
- ZIL-135LN: Variant with a crane and recovery equipment.
