There is a saying: "you don't put a $100 lock on a $50 bike". I think the same applies here.
If to block a $300 RPG (hypothetical cost, i don't know what the cost is), costs $10000, then they still win.
- schwap 10y agoNot if blocking a $300 RPG for $10000 prevents $100000 of damage to the intended target of said RPG.

- white-flame 10y agoIn cases where the attacker is strapped for cash, and the defender is not, $300 could be far more relative value to the attacker than $10k is to the defender.
- informatimago 10y agoThe more so when the "defender" is printing its USD at will.

One of the main reasons that Israel has developed so many defensive technologies is that it understood that keeping your experience and trains personnel alive is the only way to win a war of attrition no matter how much man power you can muster to replace casualties.
