small info
this is the vehicle.
the ‘huge box’ on the ‘roof’ of the vehicle is to carry rockets
and then they put the rocket on it and drive it to the launching platform for few hours due to it’s slow speed caused by the weight of the rocket and the ‘huge box’
yes, that fire truck is smaller than 1 of the 4 tracks of this vehicle :)
