"WINDS OF WAR": Ian Fleming's Flying Tanks
Had Germany not attacked Russia first, the world would have witnessed the massive air-mech insertion of light tanks by TB-3 bombers deep into Nazi territories as Operational Maneuver Groups (OMGs) to disrupt enemy cohesion--as well as seize key mobility corridors by 3D maneuver for the main body of the Red Army. This capability can now be war gamed using the amazing Forgotten Hope, Secret Weapons (FHSW) add-on to the Battlefield 1942 Video Game (VG):

Russian Air-Mech using Aero Units attached to light tanks to make them gliders that are towed by PE-2 bombers is board war gamed by Phil:

A powered Aero Unit that attaches to M113A4 "Super Gavins" making them into M113A8 "AeroGavins" figures prominently in our 007 James Bond short story: "Masquerade: Everything is Not What it Appears":

The point of all of these eXtreme delivery methods of light tanks is SPEED---airlanding by powered aircraft and off-loading even by rear ramps is a form of break-bulk that takes time on both ends of the problem and can be fatal in the face of enemy fire--consider the German Mountain Division that was airlanded by JU-52 tri-motor transports at Maleme airfield on Crete in 1941:

AIRLANDING unless its by gliders crash-landing---is NOT FORCED ENTRY aka Airborne assault.
TYPO CORRECTION: We mean the new "CH-53K" with the larger fuselage--not the German "CH-53G" in the video's text.
