The drives facilitate the deployment of the gun in position. Thanks to this, the mortar crews can quickly leave the area after hitting the target.

The two-axle "Shishiga" is also equipped with a large "barbecue", which protects the cab from kamikaze drones. In addition, the car received camouflage nets to hide it.
