That is the actual reason. For example, use Iron Dome to take out air dropped bombs rather than use a more expensive Barak-8 or Derby/Python.Karan M wrote:Though of course they do develop specific systems for specific needs.
Despite brochure claims, there is no omnipotent system. Which is why in an Indian Army platoon you find Carl Gustaf, MGL-40, RPO Sheml, Shipon and Spanish C90. Which is why surgeons use multiple scalpels. If a sangar needs to be taken out, an LCA makes more sense than a Su-30. If a missile boat needs to be taken out, one uses a Uran missile instead of Brahmos.
