Towed artillery

Land

An artillery gun pulled by a truck and set up by its crew at the firing position. It is cheaper and lighter than self-propelled artillery and can even be lifted by helicopter, but takes longer to set up and move.
Many countries, including in South Asia, still rely mostly on towed guns.
