In June, the Ukrainian Defense Forces inflicted losses on the Russian army amounting to nearly $5 for every dollar spent on striking targets.

This was reported by the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine.

These figures are provided by the Mission Control module within the DELTA combat system, which is used for planning, tracking, and analyzing combat missions.

The Mission Control module was introduced six months ago. Currently, about 50,000 combat missions are processed through the system each week.

The system accounts for the cost of enemy assets destroyed or damaged—ranging from inexpensive equipment costing hundreds of dollars to air defense systems, which can cost hundreds of thousands of dollars.

According to the Ministry of Defense, the cost of taking out a single soldier is $3,032, a unit of military equipment is $2,674, and an infrastructure facility is $1,487.

We would also like to remind you that as a result of systematic strikes by Ukrainian drones on the logistics centers of the Russian marketplace Wildberries, the losses incurred by the platform’s sellers are estimated at 215–280 billion rubles (approximately $2.7–3.5 billion).
