I don’t know why people are clowning this, pay 10M for one military grade truck or pay 10m for 200 civilian grade trucks that can have inherent camouflage…
A military truck doesn’t cost anywhere near 10M. Humvees cost $70K, maybe double that for a bigger military truck. Considering off-road capability and ease of repair, it’s a far better investment than a dump truck.
Of course those prices don’t include the weapon systems, but dump trucks don’t come standard with rocket launchers either.
Well yes, kind of the point of guerilla asymmetric warfare is that you’re not going to succeed using the same tactics as your enemy.
The might of the US military still lost to a Vietnamese army using lots of civilian gear and struggled to manage a bunch of Toyota Hiluxs with light machine guns bolted on in Afghanistan.

My point exactly. Why launchbrockets at your enemies when you can throw trash.
Maybe stupid but if it works, then it works!
Does it work, though?
Probably because civilian trucks aren’t as capable as military ones. Hence why none of the respectable militaries in the world go this route.
