Nice in theory, but I think seeing a chopper deploy directly into a crate would look "weird", and I think it would be better if the players had control over when the crate is dropped (money crates can disappear after time I think).
But you have raised the point: what if there are no attack-capable units around to destroy the aid package? Well, firstly I'd say that the palyer that deployed the chopper might be able to help his unfortunate ally in destroying the crate, and secondly, the said unfortunate ally would already be done for if he can't provide a single attack-capable unit to destroy it, so why would he need the money? I can't think of any situations where breaking open the aid package would be annoying... well not right now anyway.
Still, the MAD Tank thing could work.
