The media calculated the total cost of missiles fired by Russia
During the war, the Russian Federation fired 1,300 missiles at Ukraine, which cost the aggressor at least $7.5 billion.
It is estimated that Russia has launched 235 Caliber missiles in Ukraine. The exact number of other types of missiles fired in Ukraine is difficult to calculate, but according to the Ministry of Defense on March 24, their ratio is as follows: 62% of missiles fell on “Iskander”, 30% – on Class X missiles and 8% – on “Point-U”.
The cost of missiles can vary greatly. “Point-U”, according to the site Military russia, is estimated at $300 thousand, the value of “Caliber” – $6.5 million in accordance with the export contract with India in 2006. X-101 missiles are more modern and advanced than ‘Caliber’, so, according to experts, many times more expensive.
Thus, according to all estimates, the total cost of missiles fired in Ukraine reaches $7.5 billion. This amount exceeds 82 of the 85 annual local budgets of Russian entities – all but Moscow, the Moscow region and St. Petersburg.
As UNIAN reported, in two months of war, Russia has more than halved its missile stockpile. According to Deputy Defense Minister Anna Malyar, the Russians are trying to restore the stockpile of missiles, but it will take years.
