The Pereh was officially developed in the 1980s in response to the threat of being overrun by Egyptian tanks during the Yom Kippur war, but was only seen in active deployment after the 2000s. Unlike the typical missile carrier, the Pereh was a 'precision artillery missile launcher', meaning that it fired missiles specialized to beat tanks and heavily armored units beyond visual range against targets designated by forward observers: for an idea of how this would work, see the [[M109 Howitzer|Copperhead]] and [[2S3 Acacia]] Krasnopol rounds of the Soviets and Americans.

The most notable feature about this vehicle is that the designers took great pains to disguise it as a standard Merkava tank; Israeli censors even went so far as to keep the vehicle a secret until about 2014. As for why bother with the charade when ATGM carriers are commonplace, it was due to the understanding that such vehicles were far more dangerous and vulnerable than tanks. Disguised as a tank, a hypothetical enemy would probably underestimate its range as 2-3km and not 25km. Disguising them as tanks also increases the apparent size of a tank force to aerial observers or satellite observations. The only ones who’d know the difference were the crews themselves, Even those on the receiving end of its missiles might not know where the frak they were coming from.
