I liken the Stuxnet ops to be like if targetting Osama bin Laden with a sophisticated custom-made virus transmitted through his children. It delivers its payload once, and does very little collateral damage to others.
The virus itself was sophisticated in the way obfuscation was incorporated, using 4 zero-days.
