The total cost of the weapons used by Russia in the massive air strike on Ukraine on February 3 amounted to $324.8 million, the Main Intelligence Directorate of Ukraine’s Ministry of Defense reported 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 air attack weapons,” the statement said.

According to the Ukrainian Armed Forces Air Command, the weapons used included Iskander and RM-48U ballistic missiles, 3M22 Zircon and 3M55 Onyx hypersonic missiles, Kh-101 cruise missiles, 9M728 Iskander-K, and Kh-32 missiles.

In addition to missiles, the enemy deployed strike drones Geran and Harpiya, as well as target drones Gerbera.

The total cost of the weapons used amounted to $324.8 million, more than $190 million higher than during the massive strike on January 20.

“For this amount, the Jewish Autonomous Region 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 sum is also comparable to the six-month budget of the Kostroma region,” the Main Intelligence Directorate emphasized.

On February 3, the Russian army carried out strikes using multiple types of ballistic and cruise missiles and drones across eight regions of Ukraine, targeting energy infrastructure among other objects.
