Iran's missile penetrated the sophisticated Air Defense systems it built and acquired from US. Its tactic was to send so many missiles (which are cheaply manufactured since they are not precision guided) to confuse the radars simply because they are too many and their air defense simply can not cope up with their massing. Thus a cheap $thousand dollars vs multi million air defense missiles.
Who gets the upper hand? Who is more cost efficient?
High tech being defeated by low tech, sheer volume (just likek the American Sherman tanks defeating the more expensive German tanks in WW2 simply because of superiority in number)
In the Iraq war, Iraqis blinded the smart missile (which were optically guided) by burning oil wells and tires to create smoke that blinded the smart missiles
