They revved up this operation in a few hours, scored ten hits in rapid succession, then evaded in a combat setting. Organized. Disciplined. Not panicky.

They are either well trained or very, very lucky. I'd bet on the former, not least due to choice of weapon. These guys had no intention of being apprehended.
