“In just three days of the war, Russian occupiers lost about 157.5 million US dollars. And we are talking only about the means of air attack: cruise missiles, airplanes and helicopters, destroyed by units of anti-aircraft missile forces of the Air Force, air defense of the Ground Forces and Airborne Assault Forces of the Armed Forces forces of Ukraine during September 5-7.”

The Air Force notes that the Kh-101 cruise missile is one of the most expensive and most technologically advanced missiles in service with the Russian Federation.

The enemy launched six Kh-101 over Ukraine on September 5 (five of them were shot down by air defense of the Air Force). The estimated cost of the X-101 is $13 million per unit. 13 x 6 = 78 million dollars.

In addition:

– two Kh-59 guided air missiles – 600,000 dollars ($300,000 per unit);

– two Ka-52 attack helicopters for $32.4 million ($16.2 million per unit) and a Mi-24 attack helicopter ($12.5 million per unit);

– three Su-25 attack aircraft worth 33 million dollars ($11 million per unit) were destroyed by the soldiers of the Airborne Assault Forces;

– ten operational drones.

Thus, according to approximate calculations, only in the sky, the losses of the Russian army amounted to 157,500,000 US dollars for three days of the war.
