The recent war between the United States and Iran reveals a shift in the nature of armed conflict, as low-cost, precisely targeted weapons—such as drones and small missiles—have become more impactful and less expensive than traditional advanced weaponry. Tehran has used small, inexpensive models to damage some critical targets, increasing the cost of American defenses, given that the cost of a "Shahid-136" drone is around $35,000, compared to $4 million for a "Patriot" missile to intercept it. This pattern reduces military effectiveness in prolonged conflicts and forces countries to rethink their strategies, with many European and Arab nations developing or purchasing low-cost weapons. Meanwhile, challenges grow in building effective defense systems capable of countering widespread attack models. The war has demonstrated that developing low-cost weapons is easier than building equally efficient defenses, and reliance on artificial intelligence and modern technologies has become essential to enhancing national defense capabilities.
