    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…

      Well, disguising military equipment as civilian vehicles just means any enemy is going to target civilian vehicles, but yeah can’t argue with cost efficiency.

        Civilian trucks are expensive decoys compared to balloon or plywood ones, but on balance probably not that bad given that unlike having to make and store pure military decoys, functional civilian trucks make money during peacetime.

      This is a valid way to camouflage rocket artillery that was seen in Iraq by US armed forces.

      It won’t stop the US and S. Korea from also just bombing every garbage truck if it comes to it, but we then waste a ton of bombs on harmless garbage trucks trying to hit ~100 rocket trucks.

      It’s a good idea.
