Jihad Dropship won't work quite the way you want it to. I've made the attempt, and you're guaranteed to be out a good chunk of ISK for each one. Small arms fire might not do much to your shields, but if one of those RE's detonates before you want it to, you'll be doing a dropship backflip and lose it.
I've gotten into "two-man Jihad Jeeps." Mad Bomber fit (3 different kinds of Remote Explosives) and a driver. I have a fairly tanky Ishukone Watch LAV (free one). Throw ten remotes on it. 15,000 damage on the jeep for one good Jihad blast (And all the driver has to do is get CLOSE, rather than suicide) and he goes back to the "staging area" typically near a supply depot, or somewhere with lots of Nanohives. Rinse, repeat.
Alternatively, the explosives can be spread out on the LAV to turn it into a mobile bomb with a 15m blast radius (using the center of the LAV as a reference for point of origin.) that can be detonated 3 times before it needs to be primed again.
Do it right and it really is a "Hold my beer, this is gonna be awesome!" moment.
