I think a flying vehicle would not be easyly shot down because of the high speed (skill penalty) and high altitude (range limitation).

If the opponent has heavy anti-air weaponry (which would happen rarely) I will send armored ground transports with heavy armor instead.
Or just transport them in the Hyperion. I feel that strategy would always work.

If he loses 20 men and two transport, he loses 20 men, doesn't mean he loses the battle, considering he also has 600+ men.
