You think that those trucks won't have ground troops on foot to help defend it?

Beanbag rounds for smaller targets, water cannons for large groups, even air-spraying with specially engineered "stink gas" that's non-lethal but extremely discouraging: Wikipedia en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skunk_(weapon). It's not any one weapon that can do the job.

There is a wide variety of non-lethal weapons that have already been designed & have been in use for years. What the video here shows us is only the testing of one such weapon.

Yes, but most of the systems you mentioned are designed for usage in urban areas. E.g. try using a water cannon in the desert.

Water Cannon was just the first thing off the top of my head. That does not discount alternatives, like the Skunk Weapon: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skunk_(weapon) Not only can it be deployed from ground vehicles, but it can also be sprayed from planes flying over...like crop-dusting. Even more than 2 decades ago, I saw a documentary that described research into the "worst smell in the world" for use in crowd dispersal. I doubt that this particular effort has been left to langush in history even though less than 1% of human test subjects exposed actually enjoyed it but only 3%-4% could avoid uncontrollable retching. Who knows what kind of horrid smell they could use by NOW?
