Yeah, the Brits there were just mercs, these guys were there to bounty hunt. Nah, they're not rookies, ...but i think they were just unlucky. Funny how Ukraine change the war so much. Now we know, you don't go into ops without drone operator for overwatch. The American unit were 'specialist' with multiple tour of duty; but no One Shot, One Kill for them. They waited long, long time to get the kill shot. So, seems plausible.
