This is the start of what will become a wider trend of obscuring identifying features for military and law enforcement personnel. I am reminded of this cautionary video, which is ever more relevant given what's happening in Ukraine: https://youtu.be/O-2tpwW0kmU

Automated attack drones deployed in swarms. Self piloting, automatic targeting, both kamikazi style and remote payload delivery. Publicly they claim they still require human target confirmation before finalizing the strike, but given how far jamming has come it is clear that full self directed lethal strike is inevitable if not already in play.
