The Mobile SAM is the most advanced anti-aircraft weapon available, relying on its surface-to-air missiles to intercept incoming enemy aircraft and nuclear weapons. It defends all friendly units in its tile and adjacent tiles from air units, damaging or destroying them before they strike. Nukes launched from Missile Silos and Nuclear Submarines have a chance of being shot down if they target a tile within a Mobile SAM's defensive radius,https://forums.civfanatics.com/threads/nuclear-defence.643817/#post-15407823 and if a bomber is delivering a nuke within 1 tile, the attack will fail if the Mobile SAM brings the bomber below 50% HP.
Like all support units, the Mobile SAM will be instantly killed if an enemy military unit enters the tile it occupies. Although it cannot intercept enemy aircraft while embarked, it can still provide Support bonuses to adjacent naval units that are intercepting a target.
