Target - infantry:

2/7 Target - armor:

3/7 I recently did some research on the cost of destroying different targets with different means here. Now I have detailed and clarified it.

4/7 Damage to enemy infantry:
Drones are the cheapest and most effective way. Switchblade 300 is the most expensive means of destroying infantry. The use of mortars and artillery on group targets in open terrain dramatically increases their effectiveness.

5/7 If the infantry is in the trenches, the effectiveness of traditional military means is drastically reduced. In this case, drones can have a much greater advantage.

6/7 Destroyed armor: Drones are the cheapest way, although they may not be very effective. Much depends on the situation and the place of impact. Javelin is the most expensive way to destroy armored vehicles, but also the most effective. Switchblade 600 - may be more affordable

7/7 The use of mortars and artillery on group targets dramatically increases their effectiveness. But hunting a single moving target is almost doomed. As a result, Excalibur does not look much more expensive than classic projectiles, if we take into account efficiency.
