depends on the risk, breaking up a line to allow an advance, breaking up an advance, destroying an headquarter, artillery positions etc it all counts and you try to minimise the risk. If it came down to cost you would leave your expensive kit at home and fight with sticks and stones.. a barrage of those rockets I’ll do wonders in destroying moral as well.
The same can be said for using a £100,0000 missile to take down a £200 UAV, why would you? But when that missile stops a drone targeting artillery onto your men or equipment, or even giving the enemy intelligence so they can bolster defences or arrange attacks accordingly, then it is 100,000 well spent regardless of the target cost.
