Seeing as how humanity in the Avatar verse DOES have relativistic starships, RKKV's are easily done. It's just a matter of pointing at the planet yourself at the planet you don't like and releasing all the rocks.

By your logic I guess it is possible. However due to the limited knowledge how the WMDs worked and used in the RDA, I’m sticking with the ones already combat proven which are nukes.

Who says it has to be thousand times greater? Who says it has to do with size? Actually I was thinking more like cost efficiency on the ISV so it could be mass-produced. The previous models before the ISVs were actually ¼ larger than the ISV, but they manage to reduce it to the current ISV’s size right now. If they can do that why couldn’t they start R&D to further increase cost efficiency and eventually mass producing? The amount of capital required would be enormous, but considering the worth of the unobtanium, its worth it.

Okay, point taken. Then the humans could just aim their nukes at Eywa and several Na'Vi settlement without harming the ubnotanium.

Manufacturing equipments must be transported along other war gears like Scorpions because the planet’s surfaces already categorized as hostile. So I think Scorpions and any other weapons are a must. And just how much tonnage or kilos do Scorpions weights anyway? Several ISVs or other military vessels should be able to bring around 50 of them.
For creating a landing zone, I think you should either bomb the shit out of one of the planet’s surface, that’ll create a desert where Eywa couldn’t reach you, then you could transport manufacturing equipments down along with the Scorpions...
Actually it just crosses my mind as why the hell did RDA didn’t built or construct a military space station capable storing up the war gears?
