I don't think it's very good.
Oh, they bally-hoo it, but to deliver much of anything on target, you have to load outside weapons pylons and there goes its main advantage. Plus, zoomies have never understood that it's hard to make danger close delivery of ordnance from 30,000 feet. And I doubt it could take much punishment down in the weeds.

But I agree with using them in Ukraine. Perfect application.
