An 124, internal 'crane' can lift 20T in theory. Crate/wrap up vehicle and provide armed escort as per any other classified load. Even if the crane cannot manage, it must be possible to conceal the external features leaving window spaces for marshalling, drive on and further obscure as necessary.

With Spreaders 30tonnes no probs

We do these vehicles all the time why disguise them
