It's easy to say. However, imagine the following situation:
1. Some pirates (ex: VHF + Bomber) are waiting near the gate, ready to disrupt the lane.
2. A convoy of some transports + an escort (doesn't matter what it is) is ready to jump through the gate on the other side.
3. Escort jumps and immediately disrupts the lane. Then he tells the transports to jump and engages the pirates.
4. The transports can enter the lane and nothing short of a pirate capital ship can stop them.
