This is why I keep bringing up Rapid Dragon/palletized launched effects, there are too many ways to keep track of a truck when the value of ambushing what it is carrying gets this high. Ukraine should look to cargo aircraft not truck based launchers for equivalent strike capability given the high degree of operational uncertainty it introduces for russia trying to track them.

Cargo airplanes are not a great idea to fly around in when the airspace is contested. And the ruskies do not mind shooting down airliners.

As a standoff capability. Enemy anti-aircraft capability wouldn't come anywhere near it.
