Forbes Ukraine: Russia spent at least $400 million attacking Ukrainian cities on Monday

The wide-scale missile attack on cities throughout Ukraine on Monday cost the Russian government between $400 million and $700 million, according to an estimate from Forbes Ukraine.

On October 10 alone, Russia launched 84 cruise missiles and deployed 24 drones, the outlet reported, citing official sources. The broad range of the estimate is due to the fact that the number of each specific type of missile Russia used is unknown. According to available data, however, Russia’s military fired Kh-101 missiles ($13 million each), Kalibr missiles ($6.5 million each), Iskander missiles ($3 million each), Onyx missiles ($1.25 million each), Kh-22 missiles ($1 million each), and Tochka-U missiles ($300,000 each). The drones Russia used on Monday cost several million dollars total.
