Idk, those harvesters are often rather delicate, so unsure how well they’d manage backfire from a rocket launch, but you have me imagining those farm machines with the huge sprayer wings, but fitted with lightweight guns, all controlled from the cab.

True. I guess they have to get lifted out quickly before the worm gets there. Something might misfire and hurt the mother ship.
