I'm not sure what about this conflict could be called 'traditional combat' ... or even what you could possibly mean by that phrase or the implication that if it were 'traditional combat' it wouldn't be chilling? On the other hand, what's so non-traditional about destroying a crew-serviced weapon platform along with the crew?

Is this more of a 'turkey shoot' than a truck bomb in the US compound?
