The story so far
The Ministry of Defense of Ukraine has released data indicating that for every dollar spent on strikes against Russian targets, Russia incurs nearly five dollars in losses. This assessment follows the implementation of a new targeting system, which according to Euromaidan Press, assigns a specific price tag to each tactical engagement conducted during the ongoing war. Data published by UNITED24 Media and Mіlіtarniy draws direct comparisons between specific expenditures.
Figures cited indicate that Russia spends $65,000 to maintain a soldier, while Ukraine identifies the cost of eliminating that soldier at $3,032. Yahoo reports that the financial burden of neutralizing personnel is calculated at double the cost of striking Russian infrastructure projects. These cost-benefit figures currently represent the internal assessment of the Ukrainian military.
Official channels continue to circulate these performance metrics as the conflict reaches its 1636th day, with the new targeting system serving as the primary mechanism for monitoring these expenditure ratios.
