Russia has spent over $18 billion on missile and drone strikes against Ukraine, according to estimates from "Radio Liberty."

Since the beginning of the full-scale invasion of Ukraine, the Russian army has launched over 10,000 missiles of various types and more than 13,000 drones across its territory.

According to Radio Liberty, the total cost of munitions that Russia has spent to destroy the neighboring state exceeds $18 billion.

These estimates are based on open data and expert opinions. However, as the publication emphasizes, a significant portion of the information regarding the attacks is classified, which may indicate that the actual costs of missile and drone strikes are even higher.

The publication has compiled a table of all types of missiles launched at Ukraine, along with their costs and quantities:

Hypersonic missiles “Kinzhal” – 134 pcs., total cost $1.34 billion

Cruise missiles “Kalibr” – 927 pcs., total cost $927 million

Cruise missiles X-101 – 2,057 pcs., total cost $2.46 billion

Cruise missiles X-22 – 381 pcs, total cost $114.3 million

Anti-ship missiles “Oniks” – 211 pcs., total cost – $633 million

Cruise missiles “Iskander” – 215 pcs., total cost – $215 million

Ballistic missiles “Iskander” – 1,443 pcs., total cost – $2.9 billion

Anti-ship missiles X-35 – 17 pcs., total cost – $5.3 million

Hypersonic missiles “Tsirkon” – 7 pcs., total cost – $105 million

Missiles from the “Tochka-U” system – 68 pcs., total cost – $20.4 million

S-300, S-400 missiles – 3,093 pcs, total cost – $4.2 billion

Air-launched guided missiles – 1,713 pcs, total cost – $856 million

Other missiles of unspecified type – $76 pcs.,

Strike UAVs – 13,253 pcs, total cost – $3.84 billion

As noted by the publication, some of these types of weapons, such as the X-22 missiles, were produced during the Soviet era, thus costing the state budget virtually nothing. However, Russia still has the capability to manufacture “Kinzhal,” “Oniks,” “Iskander,” “Kalibr,” as well as strike UAVs.

According to Major General Vadym Skibitsky, a representative of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense, as of January 2024, Russia was producing approximately 115-130 strategic missiles and 100-115 operational-tactical missiles per month.
