The press service of the Ministry of Defence reported this.
They noted that in just one day, on 12 May, Ukrainian servicemen targeted 31 Russian tanks. There are 31 tanks in one tank battalion. That is, the Russian Federation lost one tank battalion in one day, the ministry stressed.
Thus, according to the Ministry of Defence's estimates, based on open data on average arms prices in the world, Russia has lost at least $9 billion.
‘USD 9 billion, for example, is about 16 annual budgets of the city of Chelyabinsk, which has the worst environmental situation in Russia. At the same time, instead of solving internal social problems, the leadership of the aggressor country continues to waste huge sums of money on the war,’ the ministry said.
- According to the General Staff's report, released on the morning of November 5, the Defence Forces targeted 15 tanks, 29 artillery systems and 1,260 Russian soldiers over the past day.
