When you fire at the cistern with the radioactive symbol from afar such that you are not caught in the blast radius, you will not get killed. Blowing up the cistern also gives you 200 gold.
When two barrels are placed together, it is possible to get 100 for the first barrel and 200 for the second barrel if you fire at both barrels in quick succession. The same principle also applies for wooden boxes.
Even if the aircraft resupplying was a bomber, it belongs to the family of large fixed wing aircraft will tend to be used for strategic bombing that is designed for long-range bombing missions against strategic targets such as supply bases, bridges, factories, shipyards, and cities themselves, in order to damage an enemy's war effort. This is being compared tactical bombing aircraft such as light bombers, medium bombers, dive bombers, interdictors, fighter-bombers, ground-attack aircraft, multirole combat aircraft, among others that are designed to take out enemy units and miliary vehicles which tend to be way smaller than the aircraft in the game and do not have enough space to carry supplies/cargo on board.

Well... Friendly forces are quickly decimated because unlike us, they do not have regenerative capabilities which allows us to fight indefinitely by firing all our rounds and the run away before dying and also to keep on repeating this.
As for the aircraft that provides us supplies not dropping bombs, the aircraft doing the deliveries are transport/cargo aircraft whose primary function is to carry cargo/supplies on board rather than for aerial bombardment(done by bombers).
