A little more, in this scenario. We've found out:

a. defenses are there
b. defenses don't stop to identify before they shoot
c. by implication, something worth defending is there
d. defenses fire on low-mass, low-threat targets, implying an inability to discriminate
e. type of weapon for some of the defenses, including thrust,  warhead yield, possibly targeting ability

All of this adds up to two things:
a. we can sweep at least some of his mines by using balloons with sensor emitters;
b. then we can sell him better equipment
