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.
