According to Ukrainian Forbes, Russia spent between USD 400 mln. to USD 700 mln. (EUR 412 mln. to EUR 700 mln.) on the massive missile attack on Ukraine this Monday, 10 October.
Ukrainian side also claims Russia used its so-called emergency reserves.
Estimates suggest H-101 missile costs EUR 13.41 mln., Kalibr – EUR 6.7 mln., Iskander – EUR 3.09 mln., Oniks – EUR 1.29 mln., H-22 – EUR 1.03 mln. The UAVs Russia used in the attack cost another several million euros, Ukrainian Forbes reports.
At least 12 Ukrainians were killed and about 80 were injured in those missile attacks. The missile attack on Ukrainian cities continued all day and all night, as well as the morning of the next day – 11 October, Ukrainian media report.
The head of British Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ) Jeremy Fleming believes that despite the massive attack on Ukraine’s entire territory,
Russia is starting to run out of ammo, adding that announcement of mobilisation demonstrates only the desperation Russia’s President Vladimir Putin has ended up in, and this will only deepen Russia’s isolation from the rest of the world.
«It’s clear that Ukraine’s bravery on the battlefield and cyberspace change the situation,» Unian cites Fleming.
On 10 October sirens were heard across all of Ukraine the entire day. Ukrainians were advised to stay in shelters and hide in metro stations.
Ukrainian sources claim that by mid-Monday 47 missiles struck Mikolaiv, 60 explosions were observed in Kyiv, 15 in Lviv, 20 in Kharkiv and 15 in Odessa. There are also reports that Russia has plans to continue mass missile attacks on Ukraine.
