The result was the ZIL -135, which was the basis of several Soviet missile systems such as the missile complex FROG -7 or the launch rocket system BM- 27 on the ZIL - 135LM.

Only the development and production of some prototype has been realized in ZIL. Series production took place at the subsidiary Brjanski Awtomobilny Zavod, also BAZ, Russian Брянский автомобильный завод instead. This still produces heavy trucks and cranes as well as military equipment. In 1993 the production was stopped. In the literature, the vehicle is sometimes referred to as BAZ -135.
