1 PA28 = Maybe 1000lbs HE top wack, requires loading generally in a public reasonably defined area, needs specialist skill to fly, doesn't have the momentum to puncture into the structural components of a building
1 transit van = probably 4000lbs HE. Can be rented anywhere, parked anywhere, be driven by anyone.
1 44 Tonne Lorry = 80,000 lb HE (and still not overloaded), can be loaded at any farm/lockup/back alley, Can be rented or hijacked, requires limited skill beyond driving a car to conduct basic operations. Can easily go inside/underneath buildings, bridges, tunnels to cause massive damage to kafir.
