Mind you this is an Air Test and Evaluation Squadron. This is most likely a stress test and will be overkill in an actual engagement.

Spreading out your "Force/Murder Capabilities" across the strike package is more desirable as Losing a single plane in a heavily armed strike package would mean losing a significant portion of your firepower.
Though it would be hard to get close (I am just coping, nothing can shoot this plane down 😭)

This mirrors modern tactics where networked systems, like data sharing between aircraft or between different branches (air, land, sea), aim to make the force as a whole more lethal and less dependent on any one platform.
