Appears to be an ill-conceived neologism. The only references I found were forks of Wikipedia. Marcus Qwertyus   21:22, 3 December 2010 (UTC)

 *  Delete Redirect to either Technical (fighting vehicle) or Multiple rocket launcher, The rocket-launching trucks can be covered under Technical (fighting vehicle) as opposed to making up a name for them. - The Bushranger Return fire Flank speed 22:50, 3 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Multiple rocket launcher. There is no distinction with that term between trucks and tracked vehicles. Seems like someone was on the right path, but didn't use a more general search term. I'm not sure I buy the distinction with technicals, either.  bahamut0013  words deeds 18:58, 5 December 2010 (UTC)
 * I don't know why there is any reason to redirect if the term is original research or just made up. Marcus Qwertyus   01:57, 6 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Well, it seems to me like the kind of thing that might be searched for, actually. Somebody with no military knowledge who's curious might well think "truck that launches multiple rockets = Multiple Launch Rocket Truck, right?". - The Bushranger Return fire Flank speed 02:42, 6 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Like he said, it was a valid enough search term that somebody couldn't find "multiple rocket launcher" and started an article on this name. Redirects are cheap.  bahamut0013  <sup style="color:#000;margin-left:-1px">words <sub style="color:#000;margin-left:-16px">deeds 00:41, 8 December 2010 (UTC)
