Towed artillery is not generally survivable these days against technological peers due to the development and proliferation of drones and counter-battery radars. Shoot and scoot tactics are a necessity, so having even heavy guns mounted on a wheeled truck is now a requirement for most new artillery procurement.

Sadly.
We’d done workups on having helicopters fly our equipment sling loaded to a location, setup somewhere else after drop off, fire, then scoot.
How practical it would have been, meh.
Not for me to say but it was an idea in the 90’s.
We did find a need for 105mm howitzers in Afghanistan, this immediately after the push to drop the M119 system in favor of the m777 or paladins.
I was out by then.
