Because I frequently look up military aircraft a lot on Wikipedia, and time and time again, I keep hearing how bombers are slower and less maneuverable than either fighters, attackers, or multirole aircraft. So does that mean that bombers are more heavily armored than the other three types of military aircraft? If not, and armor just weighs down *any* plane, why are bombers the largest, slowest, and leave maneuverable of the military aircraft, anyway?

In some cases there are few differences between a light bomber and any other plane of a similar class other than the mounts and mechanisms required to store, transport and release the ordinance in question.
But imagine I tell you to run an obstacle course, dodging, jumping and crawling. You’ll likely do fine. Then imagine I hand you a bowling ball. Now do it again. Don’t drop it.
