| Put enough RPG's into the air and you're bound to hit something, but point taken. I would mention the Anglo Boer War, but we were really technologically superior to the Brits until they started using naval guns.
We were using smokeless powder in highlyu accurate Mausers while the Brits had a mix of Martini Henry's (single Shot) and Lee Metford/Enfields (not smokeless powder and not very long range). The Boere gave the British a good whipping in the beginning, but the British took some of their very large naval guns and mounted them on tracks/wheels and things started going South really fast, still, with the older cannons the Boere had, they managed to give the British the runaround for a while.
Not sure if this would fit into the unlikely victory (based on hardware) catagory. The Brits numbered close to 300 000 and the Boere were only around 50 000 men strong.
