Ukrainian intelligence calculates how much Russia spent on February 3 strike
The total cost of the weapons Russia used for the massive aerial strike on Ukraine on February 3 amounts to $324.8 million.
According to Ukrinform, the Main Intelligence Directorate (HUR) of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine stated this on Facebook.
"On the night of February 3, Russian forces carried out a massive combined air strike on Ukraine's energy infrastructure, using a total of 562 aerial attack systems," the statement said.
According to data from the Ukrainian Air Force, Russia used Iskander and RM-48U ballistic missiles, 3M22 Zircon and 3M55 Oniks hypersonic missiles, Kh-101 cruise missiles, 9M728 Iskander-K, and Kh-32 missiles.
Alongside missiles, the enemy deployed strike drones Geran and Harpiya, as well as drone simulators Gerbera.
The total cost of the deployed weapons amounted to $324.8 million, more than $190 million higher than during the massive strike on January 20.
"With this money, the Jewish Autonomous Oblast of Russia, with a population of about 144,000, could live for a whole year, or the city of Kaluga, with a population of over 320,000. This amount is also comparable to the six-month budget of the Kostroma region," the HUR emphasized.
As Ukrinform reported, on February 3 the Russian army carried out strikes using several types of ballistic missiles, cruise missiles, and drones across eight regions of Ukraine; among the targets were energy facilities.
