#1 I expect those things are really noisy. Be sure to drop quite a few that are booby-trapped and have GPS trackers built into them. Those modified versions would serve as Taliban bait & be cheaper drone zappers.

#3 #1; Modern sound reduction systems and design can drastically reduce the sound footprint. A high performance KTM off road motorcycle is extremely quiet, 25 years ago not so much....water cooled engines and modern exhaust systems are extremely effective.

Not really. Special Forces have been using them for at least two decades. Give 'em credit for having enough brains to make the units relatively quiet.
