2. big enough bomb will take out anything

Even an M1A1 tank. Still, it is good to see that at least some of the troops are better protected. But it won't help the tanker drivers or regular troops driving around in other vehicles, of course. I would not expect there to be enough of these in regular use to make any difference in the casulty rate.

3. This thing costs as a jet fighter

But it is much more vulnerable and much less effective. That's pure madness.
