A Transporter Erector Launcher (TEL) is a specialized mobile vehicle designed to transport, elevate (erect), and launch missiles. TELs provide mobility and flexibility to missile systems, allowing them to be moved quickly to different locations and reducing their vulnerability to detection and attack. They are commonly used for ballistic missiles, cruise missiles, and other strategic weapon systems. TELs can operate on various terrains and are often equipped with advanced communication and control systems to coordinate launches. Their mobility is a key factor in modern military strategies, enhancing the survivability and effectiveness of missile forces.
