Destroy them from the air and don’t put ONE BOY on that sand!

BUFFs (B-52s) had standoff capability in the 1980s, if Tom Clancy's Red Storm Rising is to be trusted.

Bluffs can be bomb trucks for cruise missiles and iron bombs.

They are just slow.

B-1s were used for this role in Afghanistan because they could get on station from loiter in a hurry and drop JDAMs on GPS or illuminated targets.
