No, no, understand your point, Support vehicles are an extremely important part of the effort. But if they are going to attack outside their own borders to someplace like the Philippines, this thing is a sitting duck at the other end. Compared to Moose, it’s slower and can’t get the altitude. And with support vehicles that don’t carry a whole lot of munitions for defense, faster is better. Yeah, they can land on water. But I don’t think the the middle of the ocean was their plan.
So, within their own borders and immediate area, when they find a suitable LZ that they can move logistics to and from, this can be an assistance to them. It would be a useful tool. But anything else, a liability.
