I think expecting those hummer clones to last very long is fanciful thinking. If it's deployed against a force that doesn't have access to enough airborne assets they might be useful.

There are air-dropped area denial weapons designed to eliminate all tanks within a large radius that would certainly destroy a hummer clone. I can't remember what it's called. The USAF used it on a couple of iraqi tank positions with a 100% kill rate. They might get off one launch of those little drones, but reloading won't be an issue for the launch crew.

There are also several other smaller air-dropped and cruise missile delivered vehicle killers.

Yeah the mobile deployment vehicle like that would certainly be vulnerable. If they modified the system so infantry could carry a single drone each and a group could have a shared mortar-style launcher and a dedicated "pilot", then those could be very quick to deploy disruptive little things.
