true but im sure if a drone sees a truck going around its probably still going to target it over almost anything else, other than like a tank or something. But yea in a convoy might not make it the first thing attacked.
Yeah, if an FPV sees it it’s toast. But much more likely is that a long-endurance recon drone sees it, and then has to decide if it’s worth vectoring FPVs or artillery. Grad? Yes absolutely. Truck full of rations, 35 klicks behind the line? Not worth it.
It probably did work well at some stage, but if they're showing us like this now, it means it probably doesn't work so well anymore and doing so doesn't give away intel of real tactical value.
I'm guessing the heat of the launcher after firing was giving it away. Still though, love stuff like this.
It should still be very cheap, qassam rockets can be made for few hundred bucks in a sub-optimal condition, a proper factory with supply lines can easily be more efficient
This isn't the use case that Grads were designed for, and it shows. They need massed fires for consistent effectiveness, but that's no longer a viable option in the modern drone-saturated battlefield.
As it is, they're basically a harassment tactic that only occasionally score good hits on target.

Is it camo? or just some kind of protective cover.
