Camoflauge isn't new. It still sounds like an excuse.
Folks have been mounting machine guns on trucks for a long, long time. Remember the old movies of the Gatling gun in a covered wagon being suddenly revealed to the dismay of whoever the current badguys were?
Folks have been exposing weapons to fire them and then rapidly concealing them for a long, long time.
I still think it's just an excuse to blow away trucks. And an excuse for having lost those helicopters. And not even a very good one.
