A replenishment vehicle, such as a special forces replenishment vehicle is configured for being carried by and released from an aircraft. The replenishment vehicle, also referred to as a payload container, includes a storage cavity for storing a payload for being delivered to a target area. The payload may include any suitable provisions, and preferably provisions that are non-explosive during landing of the payload container, such as supplies for troops/operatives in the field, self-deploying radar or other detection devices, etc. The payload container is lobbed from the aircraft, such that the payload container is released while the aircraft is proceeding at an upwards trajectory. The payload container may be guided towards the target area by a guide portion such as a fin, wing, sail, chute, etc. The payload container is configured to enable the payload to survive release of the payload container from the aircraft and a subsequent landing.
