That may happen on higher difficulty settings. I remember that my rifle troops met mutons once but were able to make through due to the presence of auto and heavy cannons in the squad, which work quite well against those aliens. The problems began when ethereals arrived (in the first month) who, despite their description in ufopaedia, I find as physically tough as mutons. For me, ethereals are mutons armed not only with hi-tec weaponry but also with psi powers and super mechs aka sectopods. Now, -they- are the problem when you're still using projectile weapons and don't even know your soldiers' psi resistance.
