A bastardy of a quote from Bladerunner? Just wanted to check my movie 
knowledge. 

BTW - the problem with any large military vehicle (aircraft carrier, 
battleship, large tank) is that it can't mount enough defenses to 
stop an equal value in attacks from smaller armed opponents. It has a 
strategic purpose that the smaller vehicles can't fullfill (range, 
fuel, carrying capacity, etc.) so it has its place, but it certainly 
isn't the equal of the 'swarm' in individual combat.
